We are excited to be one step closer to our first Stable release and as always are looking for feedback and contributions from the community.

Can you shine some light on whether this change was done to maintain feature parity with Terraform's code that is also evolving? Or is this a completely new thing available only in OpenTofu but not available in Terraform?
One significant note is that by default OpenTofu supports most s3 compatible endpoints out of the box, without having to disable s3 checksum validation (as opposed to Terraform 1.6.3).
Also our backwards compatibility with older endpoint configurations is fully supported, without any configuration changes. Terraform (as of 1.6.3) still does not function correctly with bare endpoints.
