How this timeline changed
Changes between ChangeIntel's readings of the page, between commits of its source file where Microsoft publishes it, in Internet Archive copies of pages that keep no other history, and entries from Microsoft's own change log (dated as Microsoft dates them). Edits between readings that neither records are unknown.
Observed history and review priority
Captured 8 Oct 23:13 UTC; extracted 16 Oct 16:11 UTC. Extractor: microsoft-1/9/fc65ebeb286710c0a830833db8a7e5de7e266b79981fe9c7c34479be9369ad3c/legacy.
Earlier unavailable versions and edits between checks are unknown. A missing statement requires review; it does not mean the policy was cancelled. Recovered historical statements are not original revision snapshots.
