Actually, you are changing the browse time not the policy. The policy
is an "automatic" setting that the software sets on its own, I know this
is a VERY high level view of the policy. The browse time is just a
field in the media database that can be modified.
I also believe currently, read I have not tested it extensively, that
the clean up process will not remove a cloneid that has not passed its
browse time.
