This component has the following feature gates:

| Feature Gate | Stage | Description | From Version | To Version | Reference |
| ------------ | ----- | ----------- | ------------ | ---------- | --------- |
| `confmap.enableMergeAppendOption` | alpha | Combines lists when resolving configs from different sources. This feature gate will not be stabilized 'as is'; the current behavior will remain the default. | v0.120.0 | N/A | [Link](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/8754) |
| `confmap.newExpandedValueSanitizer` | beta | Fixes some types of decoding errors where environment variables are parsed as non-string types but assigned to string fields. | v0.144.0 | N/A | [Link](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/14413) |
