It looks like the project is abandoned and therefore it's promotions must be stopped

aws-shell is abandoned. The last update was 2 years ago. It doesn't support aws-cli v2. As a result some people decide to use the older version of aws-cli. But many of aws-shell features are implemented in aws-cli v2 by itself.

I lost several hours before I got understanding that I should use just aws-cli v2 instead. There are many like me. For example, look at the issue https://github.com/awslabs/aws-shell/issues/238. Two years of never-ending struggle.

I think aws-shell should be marked as abandoned/deprecated. It should be removed from pages like https://aws.amazon.com/cli/ where it is promoted as Developer preview - something from the future with active development not from the past with zero activity for the last 2+ years. It's confusing a lot.
