These labels were previously reserved under all circumstances, but Prometheus server handles them just fine in the metric data it scrapes. The reason we'd reserved them is that Prometheus automatically generates values for them when it scrapes a target, and we didn't want to cause a collision. It turns out Prometheus handles that collision just fine. By default, Prometheus server will prepend `exported_` to them if they're present in the scraped data (i.e. `exported_instance` and `exported_job`). Users can set `honor_labels` in their Prometheus server config if they prefer the labels from the scraped metric data to take precedence over the labels generated by the server.
