Review Comment:
   > the trust policy does not have to be based on a "user" ARN, it could be 
based on a "role" ARN too.
   
   Yes, you are right. But the fact is, we can't create long-lived creds for an 
IAM role. This is the model of AWS IAM service.
   
   So if polaris wants to assume a user-privided role from a polaris service 
role, before that, polaris needs to get a temp creds for that polaris service 
role. But then how do we get those initial creds? By assuming that polaris 
service role from another set of long-lived credentials? That gets a bit weird 
and kind of defeats the purpose. 🙂
