Panel: Ask the Devs!
summary
OpenTofu reports GA in Jan 2024 and ships three releases since, claiming practical wins: exclude flag (a long‑requested Terraform feature) lands, state encryption adds at‑rest protection many teams relied on S3 for, and an OCI registry alpha lets teams mirror providers/modules into existing container registries. Developers emphasize static evaluation as opt‑in prototyping, note millions of registry requests with ~5 minutes downtime total, and describe RFCs → alpha/beta → release as the delivery path.
