Is there a link for the smithy reference architecture? Or should we just say "a standardized AWS SDK architecture"

How about:

This release contains a major internal refactor of authentication. The refactor is part of moving the SDK to a standardized AWS SDK architecture.

It paves the way for new features to be released over the coming months: SDK plugins to provide a unified interface to add third-party functionality to the SDK and the ability to define additional ways of authenticating with services.

With this release, custom 3rd party credential providers can be created with fewer SDK dependencies (with the new identity-spi module), and AWS signers can be used with fewer SDK dependencies (with the new http-auth-aws module).

Because this is a major refactor that may result in backwards-compatible behavior changes, this release bumps the minor version of the SDK to 2.21."

It's planned to be published in Q4. I thought better to atleast use that terminology, so that later when someone is looking, they'll find it.
