This documentation https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj218693%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 (though old) says "Distribution group naming policy"
I am not sure what are the other ways to create a Distribution group except through Exchange admin or Office 365 Admin center. So if the blocked keywords does not apply to the Distribution groups also, what is that documentation explaining ? It clearly says Applies to Exchange online !

Well, in the recently announced roadmap, the Azure AD Policy thingy is marked as "requires AD Premium subscription". Not a big fan :(

Hey Vasil, Office 365 road map item "Office 365 Groups: naming policy in Azure Active Directory" which is in development does not mention about the Premium AD feature. Can you point me to the announcement that you've mentioned

Whole-heartedly agree this should not be a paid management feature. The risk for abuse is just far too high to not be included in basic management.
