I would argue that this is not an ethical issue. As with any other
records keeping tool, the ability to store in an NFPA 232 facility is
going to be impacted by the types of records being stored, cost, and
availability. A risk/cost analysis may show that such storage is
perfectly acceptable, or not. Similar arguments could be made for
virtually any records keeping tool (or lack thereof) applied in a given
environment. 

Willful destruction of records under a legal hold - that's an ethical
issue. This is more of a question of priorities, resources, and
timeframes. That's not to say its unimportant, and in some circumstances
ethics may play a role in the choices made, but not in all instances.
