Description
There are several notices on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html that state one should be using version 2 of the library going forward. But I can't find any information about when version 1 will be de-supported/end-of-lifed. I need to know this information so I can plan how to build systems that depend on this tool.
https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947#issuecomment-586046886 says:
> Just as a reminder, the AWS CLI V1 will continue to receive regular updates
that are published to PyPI and pip will continue to be a supported
installation mechanism for AWS CLI V1.
But that's the only, seemingly "official," statement I have been able to find. It's not a very reassuring one given all of the statements like:

^ A clear emphasis is placed on using v2 over v1.
Additionally, if I'm building e.g. Docker images that rely on this tool, how do I get updates? https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4961 directly asks this question and the answer is poor given that v1 is maintainable through common tooling instead of checking a git repo.
