I believe in organizing records series broadly, for retention policy
purposes, and for retaining/deleting/purging purposes. I do not believe
in "categories" of records, per se.
I definitely DO NOT believe in fitting records into retention
categories; 1 year; 3 years; 5 years; permanent, etc. Defeats the
purpose of retaining and deleting/purging per policy; it is a copout; it
is not necessary. You can almost hear somebody say "OK, we are not good
at RIM, we do not have expertise, we are lazy, let's just do it this
way."
I am a purist; don't wear the spurs unless you have something to ride!

history, etc.)
