| When modifying an existing policy setting, please consider the following: |
| |
| - Make sure the policy meta data is up-to-date, in particular |
| supported_on, and the feature flags. |
| - In general, don't change policy semantics in a way that is |
| incompatible (as determined by user/admin-visible behavior) with |
| previous semantics. In particular, consider that existing policy |
| deployments may affect both old and new browser versions, and both |
| should behave according to the admin's intentions. |
| - It is OK to expand semantics of policy values as long as the previous |
| policy description is compatible with the new behavior. |
| - It is OK to update feature implementations and the policy description |
| when Chrome changes as long as the intended effect of the policy |
| remains intact. |
| - The process for removing policies is to deprecate them first, wait a |
| few releases (if possible) and then remove them. Make sure you put the |
| deprecated flag if you deprecate a policy. |
