@JonathanWamsley, is this something you could pick up?

Hi @JonathanWamsley, are you still working on this issue? If you are busy, i would like try to implement it. I think we would need a feature gate to enable this functionality, right? I can't find the mdatagen built-in feature-gate system refer to https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/pull/18881#issuecomment-1450474770

Looking at this again, I'm unclear on what change is being requested. Is the idea to add a feature gate and migrate towards having this resource enabled by default? Generally when adding new metrics, we've just left them as disabled by default, but I'm not sure if resource attributes have been or should be handled differently.

Based on this comment, I understand that mdatagen now has the ability to set resource attributes as optional or default, but we don't have documentation regarding how to migrate resource attributes from optional to default. I think the mechanism used for metrics is sufficient though, which is to first add a warning log to the receiver which explains that the attribute will be enabled by default starting with a particular version.

Here is an example of how the mechanism is controlled.
