Here's the scheme
Maintain your archives on whatever it's on as long as possible. Once it's no longer convenient or cost-effective to maintain your collection, select a standard that's not on the bleeding edge and meets current needs. Convert everything to the new standard as quickly as possible and throw out the old ones.
Let me repeat: and throw out the old ones. Anything else is madness. (Says the guy whose wife just told him to do something with the box of electronics in the basement.)
