Allow private provider registries to self-host provider packages/checksums/signatures under the same credentials as the registry itself

FWIW what _I_ had in mind when writing my earlier comments was to extend the [Find a Provider Package](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/internals/provider-registry-protocol#find-a-provider-package) response format with a new optional property like `"use_registry_host_credentials"` which can...

Feature Request: Specify SSH key for module source so can pull the key from Vault

Hi @jgeorgeson! Thanks for this feature request. We recommend that all credentials needed to run Terraform be provided "ambiently" in the environment, rather than via Terraform configuration itself. This has...

Feature Request: Specify SSH key for module source so can pull the key from Vault

Git itself has a very flexible (but also complex) set of features for dealing with various different authentication-related requirements. In the most general case, it supports running an arbitrary external...

Retain resource instances with a new lifecycle argument - destroy

Oh, I also meant to say: Initially I was considering suggesting that we don't track the destroy status in the state and instead expect folks to write a `removed` block...

Parallelize provider installation

Document the "external" key provider and encryption method as non-experimental

Hi all, We've decided to take this task out of the v1.11.0 milestone because we haven't yet heard enough feedback (whether positive or negative) about these features to know whether...

`terraform_remote_state` doesn't respect sensitivity of an output

FWIW, the current behavior is intentional because when the predecessor project originally added the concept of dynamically-tracked sensitivity a version of `terraform_remote_state` that _did_ respect the sensitivity was reported to...

`terraform_remote_state` doesn't respect sensitivity of an output

I'd considered that, but: 1. The consequences of not enabling it are disclosure of secrets and thus probably the need to rotate a bunch of secrets. That seems worse than...

Refactor: assumption on providers

The current intended separation of concerns is that the language runtime (the `internal/tofu` package and its related dependencies) interact only with the `providers.Interface` abstraction without caring how it's implemented, while...

[RFC] Introduce OpenTelemetry to the OpenTofu codebase

FWIW I've been quietly checking on the progress of https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/258 as a potential new OpenTelemetry standard to build on for features like this. It's taking longer than I had hoped,...
