So, I'm not seeing the place in the AIP from which we would recover the fact that a given resource policy was automatically generated from some other datum and *must not be manually altered*, at least not without a warning. I don't want DSpace to negotiate embargos; I just don't want it to forget what it did about them. -- Mark H.
