Announcements about S3 BitTorrent discontinuation shouldn't be buried in the commit history about amazon-s3-userguide

Hello

But it seems to me that still the official docs site doesn't cover the deprecation at all. In addition, there is a misleading article that talks about how to get the torrent for a specific object, which you can find here. We need to remove similar misleading articles and possibly add permanent notice on the site to tell developers not to use this deprecated service.

Is it possible that the AWS changed its mind between May 13 and 19, and retracted the announcement?

I don't think that's too misleading, it's describing how to use the S3 BitTorrent APIs – which will presumably continue to work until next April.

Yes, that's what I'm asking for.

I'd be very surprised if they did, and if they did, I'd expect them to have restored the feature page for S3 BitTorrent.
