+# Standard Warnings
+Some components have scenarios that could cause issues.  Some components require the collector be interacted with in a specific way in order to ensure the component works as intended. This document describes common warnings that may affect a component in the collector. 
+
+Visit a component's README to see if it is affected by any of these standard warnings.
+
+## Unsound Transformations
+Incorrect usage of the component may lead to telemetry data that is unsound i.e. not spec-compliant/meaningless.  This would most likely be caused by converting metric data types or creating new metrics from existing metrics.
+
+## Statefulness
+The component keeps state related to telemetry data and therefore needs all data from a producer to be sent to the same Collector instance to ensure a correct behavior. Examples of scenarios that require state would be computing/exporting delta metrics, tail-based sampling and grouping telemetry.
+
+## Identity Conflict
+The component may change the [identity of a metric](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main//specification/metrics/data-model.md#opentelemetry-protocol-data-model-producer-recommendations) or the [identity of a timeseries](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main//specification/metrics/data-model.md#timeseries-model). This could be done by modifying the metric/timeseries's name, attributes, or instrumentation scope. Modifying a metric/timeseries's identity could result in a metric/timeseries identity conflict, which caused by two metrics/timeseries sharing the same name, attributes, and instrumentation scope.
+
+## Orphaned Telemetry
+The component modifies the incoming telemetry in such a way that a span becomes orphaned, that is, it contains a `trace_id` or `parent_span_id` that does not exist.  This may occur because the component can modify `span_id`, `trace_id`, or `parent_span_id` or because the component can delete telemetry.
