Suggestion: I'm not a native English speaker, so your call on this one :-) Do
you think "AllowDeletingBrowserHistory" is more clear?

[Joao da Silva, 2013/02/11 15:48:52]

Set 'future': True for this policy.

[Pam (message me for reviews), 2013/02/12 13:58:20]

It would be. Which is more important, that or matching
"SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled"?

[Pam (message me for reviews), 2013/02/12 13:58:20]

Done.

That policy has negative polarity, which is a source of a lot of confusion and
we try to avoid that from now on. I'd go for a clearer name than consistency
with broken naming.
