Support for running multiple versions of the same provider

[iamunni]

Terraform Version

latest

Use Cases

we have moduleA which use provider version 1.x, and we have a new moduleB using provider 2.x. Now, due to the limitation of the provider versioning, we will have to upgrade the moduleA to use provider version 2.x. We're not able to use both version of providers at the same time even with different aliases

Attempted Solutions

Proposal

#16641
This support was not added due to reasons mentioned in the above issue. Just wanted to checkin and ask if anything changed in the architecture that we can add support multiple versions of same providers?

Hi @iamunni, there are no updates. This issue is somewhat related to #19932, in the sense that they both represent desired changes to the current restrictions in defining dependencies.
