## Future plans
When it comes to providers, the current RFC mainly addresses OCI as a private registry for providers. This is a limitation stemming from the fact that provider addresses are virtual, as described in [Design Considerations](20241206-oci-registries/3-design-considerations.md). In a future OpenTofu version we would like to address this shortcoming and enable everyone to use OCI as a public provider source without relying on configuration options in the `.tofurc` file.
Additionally, currently the OCI registry implementation doesn't have the equivalent of the [OpenTofu Registry Search](https://search.opentofu.org). We envision this to be resolved similar to how Linux packages often publish a supplemental `doc` package, containing the related documentation. This, however, will need tooling in OpenTofu to render and show that documentation. While much of the code can be reused from the [Search source code](https://github.com/opentofu/registry-ui), that project was not written with reuse in mind and will need some additional work to adapt as a general-purpose documentation viewer.
