Just a quick note to say thank you for this change. I was pretty furious about being forced to encrypt my local backups-to the point where I was ready to stop supporting the HA project financially. This is a welcome reversal!

Alright, everyone, that’s a wrap for this thread! Your feedback was incredibly helpful this past week - I am going to work on ensuring that there is a Beta thread here every month now to allow y’all who are not a member of the Discord server a chance to offer valuable insight. 
If you have feedback about anything that was released in 2025.2, please head over to the blog thread specific for this release to continue the conversation.
One last note: THANK YOU. Thank you for your feedback, compliments on how this situation was handled, and everything in between. 
We seriously cannot do this without your input - please keep it coming and keep it healthy.
