Hi Juca, I was in discussions with Sandeep before he created the PR for Zipkin support, so I can give some background info: As a part of better understanding and improving the performance characteristics of OW we were simply looking for a way to profile the whole system. Zipkin seemed (still seems) to be fit for that job. So from our perspective plugability was not much of a concern, we “simply” wanted to get to the data.
