Whats the plan for the production-ready stable release of gcp-propagators, so far there have been alpha version releases only #316

Since April 2022 up to Jan 2024, there have been multiple releases of the opentelemetry-operations-java plugin. However, the gcp-propagators has always been released with the alpha version. We have concerns about using an alpha version otel extension in our production software. Can you please share the plan for the production-ready stable release for the gcp-propagators ?

Thanks!

@upsh can you say more about why you need to use the X-Cloud-Trace-Context header instead of the W3C standard traceparent?

Thanks for your response @punya. Our services are hosted on GCP. Since Google load balancer emits x-cloud-trace-context header and not the w3c traceparent header, we need to propagate the same in our services.

@upsh thanks. What environment are you running on (GCE, GKE, etc)?

@aabmass, thanks for your response. We use GKE.
