Summary

Updated AWS WAF Classic end-of-life notice to remove specific date and direct users to AWS Health dashboard for regional timelines

Security assessment

Change communicates service deprecation process but does not address a specific security vulnerability or introduce security features. Impacts security posture only indirectly by encouraging migration from older WAF versions.
