While this can be seen as a breaking change for the callers (previously it was allowing caching - now it is not) I personally see it more like a bugfix.

In Go SDK we never had indicated that callers may cache the results and I do not found any code that would rely on that. Go docs for Sampler: https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace#Sampler

Can you add a changelog entry? 😉

I see this as a bugfix. The arguments here are convincing.

I think we should assume that there are no implementations caching this since this seems reasonable, but leave this open for a period of time which allows people to come forward and claim otherwise. Say 2-3 weeks.
