Hi Marcos,

The purpose of the python3-boto3 dependency is to be able to upload the
sos to an S3 endpoint. We can have various users whether it's cloud or
non-cloud uploading to an S3 endpoint can still be valid. This was the
reason for having it in Recommends.

The Suggests doesn't actually give you anything other than the fact it
notifies you about the package. Below is a comment that was made to me,
when I originally added it to Suggests

> This is also pretty pointless as nothing installs package Suggests: by
default and users almost never look at this.

Also adding it to Suggests, it will never actually install it on any
platform whether it is needed or not. The only way to then to know if it
is needed is via the error messages that sos will bring through.
