As the title says. First-hand information (real readout) is important for monitoring and tracing. There're a lot of problems not solved with this adjustment, for example, it does not preserve the relative positions of sub-spans, and it does not adjust according to the end time (that's also caused by clock skew). ---

FYI, Jaeger disables the adjustment by default and emits an warning when the clock skew happens. ---
