 ### :boom: Breaking Change
 
+* chore(metrics-sdk): clean up exports [#3197](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/3197) @pichlermarc
+  * removes export for:
+    * `AccumulationRecord`
+    * `Aggregator`
+    * `AggregatorKind`
+    * `Accumulation`
+    * `createInstrumentDescriptor`
+    * `createInstrumentDescriptorWithView`
+    * `isDescriptorCompatibleWith`
+
