I'm not sure whether I want to be capable to go back and roll forward for 90 days for the databases I am using RMAN on. That would pose a real disaster as all databases are interrelated *on application* level, and I would be forced to roll forward 8 databases for 90 days. I think for most purposes 30 days is fine, and requiring to go back longer is just for people who want their DBAs to retire.
