> Well you do not need rapidly evolve Terraform, few small vendors and enthusiast would be able to do that.

Probably true regarding entirely new features, but I think just keeping up with all the different API changes across the modules would be a massive amount of work in itself.



Do not do blindly follow API changes in long term.

Provide some tool to verify compatibility, but in general the goal is for open-source to be the standard, not HashiCorp flavour.

Your goal is to convince the most popular Hashicorp providers that you are the standard and build the community.


Incoming arbitrary API changes on the BSL version to guarantee plugin lock-in!


That work is still under MPL (Terraform Providers, which are mostly community maintained / developed). Hashi owns and is the primary developer of the terraform tool itself, but not the 'keeping track of all the different API changes' part.
