AWS sagemaker documentation change
Summary
Updated support timelines for major versions (extended from 12 to 18 months) and added 'Last minor version release' column to version table
Security assessment
Changes focus on version support lifecycle management rather than addressing specific security vulnerabilities. While security patches are mentioned, this is part of standard maintenance policy rather than a response to new security issues.
