<"Very important! The MoReq2010 model must acknowledge that new version of a schedule doesn't necessarily make previous versions "inactive". In most cases initial schedules will remain applicable to the corresponding collections and won't be replaced with newer versions.">

I find this approach interesting.  The use of the word "collections" to me implies reference to an Archival collection and not business or organizational records.  I beg to differ with the commenter in that, with active/inactive business or organizational records (not historic records acquisitioned by an Archive), the value of the record to the business is reflected in whatever retention schedule is current.  The value of a record is the value at a specific point in time when the retention is applied, and to have conflicting values for the same record series (with possibly different inclusive dates) is legally confusing. If the record series should have a different retention, then that retention should be reflected in the current schedule.  I don't believe legal situations are going to recognize two different schedules existing at the same time.
