Our initial Terraform 0.13.0 release will continue to support only the
hard-coded official HashiCorp signing key, with support for other keys to
follow in a later release once the trust infrastructure is in place to
support that.
This change is intended to (marginally) improve the UX for a possible
future situation where a HashiCorp-distributed provider makes a released
signed with a new key and a prior version of Terraform ends up trying to
install it due to incorrect version constraints. With this new text we
hope to give the user a better prompt for onward troubleshooting, but
in a sort of hedging way because we have not yet finalized the details of
how new keys might roll out in practice.
Hopefully a user seeing this message would consult the release notes for
Terraform itself and for the provider in question and find some
as-yet-undetermined information about how to proceed.
If the decentralized trust model design comes together before the v0.13.0
release then we may make further amendments here to prepare for that, but
that work should not block the v0.13.0 release if other work concludes
first.
