Strongly agree. I've been wanting an official emulator from AWS for years. It looks like they've finally produced it, and it looks like somebody that works there is saying they're planning on maintaining it. And they've blogged that it was released. And somehow the comments are focusing on the fact that they haven't promised to maintain it for a long time. It's extremely rare to ever see statements about longevity when something is first announced.

HN has gone wildly cynical in a way I haven't seen in this community previously. It's exhausting, and makes me spend less time here.

I appreciate the effort dang and team have put into keeping the quality high here over the years, and I'm not sure what the optimal solution is.

We can appreciate it while also recognizing that history repeats itself into disappointment while also recognizing that Amazon has done large social media campaigns (remember the FC Ambassadors?). I would have been more excited about this ten years ago.
