Hi

Thanks for the feedback and the edits.

I was hoping that policy stores were sufficiently documented in the
installation instructions [1] as most users will not need to switch types
afterwards.

I am considering moving the policy document [2] to the user guides though. I
could enhance that document with more information about policy stores as
well without touching on the more in-depth feedback that is in the policy
store document [3]
