If I understand correctly, this is a bug that can potentially cause data loss: if

- an S3 bucket at some point had a lifecycle policy automating deletion of expired objects, and - that lifecycle policy was then deleted (which due to the bug in question would be ignored),

It seems the situation is not that bad. The delete-bucket-lifecycle API is ignored. But a careful user might verify the deletion with get-bucket-lifecycle-configuration and notice that it's still present ;-). As a workaround use "Status": "Disabled" in the lifecycle rules. +1 waiting for 19.2.4. Thanks, Sascha.
