The following classes were deprecated as a part of SMS MVP in MDL-80962:
admin_settinga_aws_region
aws_helper
client_factory
Some community plugins benefit from these and we will now roll back the deprecation and re-evaluate the value of these and possibly create a central helper for AWS-related methods.
At this point, we can just roll back the deprecation and then possibly create a tracker to investigate the feasibility of restructuring them.
The tracker for final deprecating these classes has been/will be closed: MDL-82459
What this tracker should address is:
- Roll back the deprecated methods
- Investigate smsgateway_aws plugin and deprecated the methods there where needed and use these helpers from core: can be a different tracker
- Investigate the feasibility of the helpers for AWS in core and move them to a central class for good
We can also consider doing a backport request for this to 4.5.
