Any system where this policy is applied receives the new policy at the next agent-server communication.
Deleting the repository does not delete the packages on the system

Policy inheritance cannot be broken for tabs of a policy. Therefore, when
you apply this policy to systems, ensure that only the desired systems
receive and inherit the policy to use the unmanaged distributed repository.
