> The `aws_default`  by default specifies the `region_name` to be
>  `us-east-1` in its `extra` field. This causes trouble when the desired
>  AWS account uses a different region as this default value has priority
>  over the $AWS_REGION and $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variables,
>  gets passed directly to `botocore` and does not seem to be documented.
> It seems that the best way of dealing with this situation would be to remove this default variable. The result of this would be that all aws_default connection parameters would have to manually define it which seems to be consistent with "explicit better than implicit" philosophy.
