+// types in Terraform as practitioners will receive less helpful configuration
+// assistance from validation error diagnostics and editor integrations. When

+	//
+	//  - "Configure other_attribute instead. This attribute will be removed
+	//    in the next major version of the provider."
+	//  - "Remove this attribute's configuration as it no longer is used and
+	//    the attribute will be removed in the next major version of the
+	//    provider."
+	//
+	// In Terraform 1.2.7 and later, this warning diagnostic is displayed any
+	// time a practitioner attempts to configure a value for this attribute and
+	// certain scenarios where this attribute is referenced.
+	//
+	// In Terraform 1.2.6 and earlier, this warning diagnostic is only
+	// displayed when the Attribute is Required or Optional, and if the
+	// practitioner configuration sets the value to a known or unknown value
+	// (which may eventually be null). It has no effect when the Attribute is
+	// Computed-only (read-only; not Required or Optional).
+	//
+	// Across any Terraform version, there are no warnings raised for
+	// practitioner configuration values set directly to null, as there is no
+	// way for the framework to differentiate between an unset and null
+	// configuration due to how Terraform sends configuration information
+	// across the protocol.
