[aemada-aws]

should we remove this?

[leonmk-aws]

I don't think we can remove it because this class implements IPrincipal and addToPolicy is required:

aws-cdk/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam/lib/principals.ts

Line 68 in de6a16b

addToPolicy(statement: PolicyStatement): boolean;

A maintainer must now check the pipeline and add the pr-linter/cli-integ-tested label once the pipeline succeeds.
