Is your change request related to a problem? Please describe.

The code.stacktrace is currently experimental, and we think it would make sense to make it stable.

Current known usages:

• inferred-spans module in Java contrib
• span-stacktrace module in Java contrib

Making this attribute stable would allow making features that rely on it stable, relying on an experimental/incubating attribute transitively forces the feature as experimental/incubating.

Describe the solution you'd like

Making the code.stacktrace attribute stable, or making the whole code.* namespace stable.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Making the whole code.* attributes stable would be an alternative as most of those fields are not ambiguous even if some of their values are platform-specific (the code.stacktrace being a good example).

For now keeping the scope to code.stacktrace is a way to reduce the scope as an attempt to making this change easier.

Additional context

Making this attribute stable was discussed in August 29th Java SIG Meeting where the topic was "how to make a component in java contrib stable".

Steps and progress

• renaming some attributes: rename some code attributes #1624
• clarify some attributes values Clarify values for code.function.name and code.namespace #1677
• promotion to release candidate: mark code.* attributes as release candidate #1599
• promotion to stable
