Maybe it's about time to state a thing, means to store and retrieve information do change, as have done ever since, if we want to preserve information we need to transfer it a step at a time from "the old" to "the new" mean, when both are well known and eventual hw needed to work with both version do exists and it's known and spread. Other activities are pointless, might work for a little time, for a small set of information but not on scale. To preserve heritage we simply should keep data fresh.
