Since that's a metric that is standardized across our client libraries, we should keep the existing name IMO. I'm also not sure if the naming doc is that clear on whether a timestamp necessarily has to be named "timestamp" vs. just "time". We also use just "time" in other places as well, like "node_boot_time_seconds" in the Node Exporter, or "container_start_time_seconds" (although that's not us, that's cAdvisor / k8s.
