Fields which use
ConfigMode: schema.SchemaConfigModeAttr
are generally treated as attributes by core. See https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/v1.0.3/internal/lang/blocktoattr/schema.go for more.Additionally it is proposed to deprecate blocks generally in providers in the long run as per hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework#85
This documentation update reflects this plan and current reality by encouraging users to use the attribute notation.
I assume that some fields should probably be renamed to plural in the long run, but that seems like a job for another PR and more careful planning.
