AWS managed-blockchain documentation change
Summary
Removed AWS account requirement section entirely, including sign-up steps and root user security guidance.
Security assessment
Elimination of prerequisite documentation doesn't indicate security remediation. Removal of root user security best practice is notable but lacks context suggesting it addresses an active vulnerability.
