Summary
The OTLP exporter has two feature flags gating retry behaviour:
experimental-grpc-retry — retry with exponential backoff for gRPC/tonic exports
experimental-http-retry — retry with exponential backoff for HTTP exports
The underlying retry behaviour is described as a MUST in the OTLP exporter specification. Since the spec considers this stable and required, these flags should not remain experimental — the retry logic should be on by default and the experimental-* feature gates removed.
