This can be useful if a child span needs to influence parent span's kind. For example, if multiple client libraries that wrap each other are all instrumented. For example: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib#456

There might be exporters which already export a span on start so updating the span kind can be problematic in this case.

This should be reflected in the spec if we decide to move ahead with it.

There hasn't been any interest in this. I think we should first get this added in spec. We are closing this for now. Re-open and pursue at the spec level if people are still interested. Thanks.
