Even after v1.0 finalization we still have room to improve on @rakyll feedback around observability motivations:

The paper should include a high-level section what observability enables. For example, response time to an incident can be improved from hours to minutes. Observability can help onboarding new engineers in relative large systems. Observability can contribute to the efficiency of your infrastructure and help you optimize (not just performance-wise but also costs-wise). It can help identifying malicious cases and security attacks. A section with a list of various things observability can contribute would be great.
