This might have ramification on how or if this can be pushed to crates.io, I suspect. Should we consult with someone with more knowledge of the cargo publishing process to understand the consequences?

yes, I intend to do some research before attempting! Thanks.

We could consider posting a notice to https://rustsec.org/contributing.html about opentelemetry_sdk -> opentelemetry-sdk
Perhaps also we could try to write a wrapper for at least one version which just has opentelemetry_sdk wrapping opentelemetry-sdk directly.

Is there some related issue with the discussion about the rename? The naming consistency should be fixed indeed, but I'd like to read about why you picked to normalize using - (compared to normalizing the other crates to _). The reason why I'm asking is that both styles are present on crates.io. - feels a bit more popular, but many larger crates also use _ since it means that the crate name and import name match.
