Switch to native S3 library to use IAM for permissions

Hmm. Not sure how all that's configured @raventools, but we haven't had any trouble issuing a credential for the bot.

For reference, this is discussed here as well on the knox repository: Automattic/knox#262 . You're probably right about it not being actively maintained.

There are apparently a fair number of pros/cons to using the native AWS node package. The biggest concern I have is for folks who have implemented S3-like services, such as Pithos, would no longer be able to use the package. (#35)

It doesn't look terribly difficult to accomplish, but it will need some more research.

I have not worked with any of the S3-like services, but so long as they're truly compatible, you should be able to use the endpoint option for the S3 constructor (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#constructor-property) to point to your own server.
