I recently read the following statement and am struggling with the
concept:

"While DM repositories are generally focused on keeping as much as
possible for future reference , RM repositories are generally focused on
keeping only what is necessary for a specified length of time"

I agree on the later statement, but the thought of keeping documents for
an unlimited period of time is not sitting well with me.  What are your
thoughts?
