An official apology from the author of the article that sparked the entire discussion - https://twitter.com/mjasay/status/1778454498664690108

It takes guts to publicly admit you were wrong.

Hah! I knew that previous article smelled like a poorly researched hit piece on OpenTofu!

> “for_each” implementation for “import” blocks,

Well, I'm officially on board with this project. We've been told this is impossible for years.

Seems like this is pretty air tight for OpenTofu, but cease and desist letters are usually hoping to intimidate you into action anyway.

edit: looks like I may have confused import blocks with provider blocks... please give me for_each support for provider blocks! please!

Unforced error by Hashicorp. Did an engineer even review this code?

Those of us who remember the SCO Group are probably tickled pink that ‘source code origination’ is apparently a term of art abbreviated ‘SCO.’

Until there is an update to the original article [0], I don't find this apology particular meaningful.
