Summary

Updated list of Systems Manager feature limitations in GovCloud - changed terminology from 'capability' to 'tool', reordered entries, and added Distributor's lack of third-party packages

Security assessment

The changes document feature limitations rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While the removal of third-party packages in Distributor could reduce attack surface, this is presented as a service limitation rather than a security fix. No CVEs, vulnerabilities, or security controls are mentioned.
