@tigrannajaryan Please consider applying the suggested changes, StatusCode seems to be the preferred name as per the 👍s and would also solve the issue you mentioned in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto#224 (comment).

Changelog entry added. Spec compliance matrix does not require changes since it refers to simply "status".

I thought of a separate entry for keeping track of SIGs adopting the renaming before releasing them as RC/GA.

I think that is what changelog is intended for. Maintainers need to check the changelog to know what they may need to change in the implementation.

Yes, that's how maintainers are notified about the change, but the GC/TC will look at the spec compliance matrix to determine whether an implementation fulfills the spec requirements for RC/GA - at least that's my understanding.
