 Component owners are generally given authority to make decisions relating to implementation and feature requests for their components,

 Therefore, to reach our goal, we have the following recommendations for where instrumentation packages should live.
 
 1. Native to the instrumented package
-2. A dedicated public repository
-3. Here in the opentelemetry-js-contrib repository
+2. Close to where maintenance of the instrumented library takes place. For example:

 If possible, OpenTelemetry instrumentation should be included in the instrumented package.
 This will ensure the instrumentation reaches all package users, and is continuously maintained by developers that understand the package.
