Yes, don't use the passphrase secret manager. But the other secret managers will need to write their own configuration values to the config file so you'd still end up with changes there (except the pulumi service backend, that doesn't need any extra config). Probably not the answer your looking for, so why are you trying to remove it?

I’m not using secrets in my config. It’s an unnecessary, messy line of config required in every config file i manage

Would be nice to have a feature to just turn this off if the user is not using secrets.
```PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=False```
results in skipping over creating the encryptionsalt config

(I know i’m not the only one who wants this… should i create an issue?)
