aws / aws/aws-cli

Is there a reason you publish an up-to-date MSI but not an RPM which works with RHEL?

Description

I'd prefer to have an RPM instead of using the pip method to install AWS CLI on RHEL. This helps with insuring python packages installed by the OS are not replaced by pip which I've seen break other programs which depend on them.

Searching for issues or blog posts on this has turned up surprisingly un-useful results. I see that you package this for Amazon Linux and Windows, so it's surprising that you don't do what should be minimal work to package this for RHEL as well - sometimes we must use RHEL for support matrix reasons.

Is there a location where I can obtain awscli - in the most recent version or close to it - via RPM?
