// This class registers providers that want to prohibit certain actions from

// before allowing a user or a user-level mechanism to perform the respective
// action. (That is, installing or otherwise modifying an extension in order
// to conform to enterprise administrator policy must be exempted from these
// checks.)

// This "policy" and its providers should not be confused with administrator
// policy, although admin policy is one of the sources ("Providers") of
// restrictions registered with and exposed by the ManagementPolicy.

  // whether one individual extension or the whole system, should implement
  // the methods of this Provider interface that it needs. In each case, if the
  // provider does not need to control a certain action, that method does not
  // need to be implemented.
  //
  // It is not guaranteed that a particular Provider's methods will be called
  // each time a user tries to perform one of the controlled actions (the list
  // of providers is short-circuited as soon as a decision is possible), so
  // implementations of these methods must have no side effects.
