Description

I'm wondering whether there is appetite from the maintainers to accept a PR that would add ActivitySource instrumentation to both the base library and also the ASP.NET core one.

Specifically, I'm looking at the code that gets features flags in the FeatureManager and also adding the enabled/disabled state to ASP.NET core, and potentially some other Activity based code in the ASP.NET Core library.

The usecase here is that this is important information for debugging production as it forms part of the request/response lifecycle, and also influences things like code paths of the request.

We can discuss specifics, I just want to know that there's a chance of this getting merged if I do the work.

Research direction

Start by reading the FeatureManager code that gets feature flags and the corresponding ASP.NET Core library code. Clarify the instrumentation scope with maintainers first; done would mean an agreed ActivitySource approach covering feature evaluation and the enabled or disabled state in ASP.NET Core.
