 // ThreadRestrictions helps protect threads that should not block from
 // making blocking calls.  It works like this:
 //
 // 1) If a thread should not be allowed to make IO calls, mark it:
 //      base::ThreadRestrictions::SetIOAllowed(false);
 //    By default, threads *are* allowed to make IO calls.
 //    In Chrome browser code, IO calls should be proxied to the File thread.
 //
 // 2) If a function makes a call that will go out to disk, check whether the
 //    current thread is allowed:
 //      base::ThreadRestrictions::AssertIOAllowed();
 //
 // ThreadRestrictions does nothing in release builds; it is debug-only.
 //
-// Style tip: where should you put AssertIOAllowed checks?  It's best
-// if you put them as close to the disk access as possible, at the
-// lowest level.  This rule is simple to follow and helps catch all
-// callers.  For example, if your function GoDoSomeBlockingDiskCall()
-// only calls other functions in Chrome and not fopen(), you should go
-// add the AssertIOAllowed checks in the helper functions.
