[WAF]aws waf list-* commands require limit argument

[quiver]

When you run WAF's list commands(like $ aws waf list-web-acls), you end up with error: argument --limit is required error.

API doc : http://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/APIReference/API_ListWebACLs.html

This is inconsistent with other services' list-APIs that do not require --limit arguments.

Is this by design or just a bug?

IIRC, I reported a similar bug before, but I cloud't find it.

Thanks for your quick comment! That required limit is currently a documented feature. But we are aware of this issue, and will reconsider this.

Sorry for the confusion. This is not something we can fix on the CLI side. We'd need the service to relax the constraint of not making this a required field.

Closing issue as there's nothing actionable on the CLI side.

OK, I'll report this kind of issues to AWS Support Center directly.
