Lotus presents that indeed but in the end you will need to archive all your stuff; that happens quickly with the e-mails.The main problem is the quantity of document, the more you have the more you're lost. One goes into problems with format that can be handled by different apps (txt format for example) with different versions. Point 2) is consequent to point 1) one needs an app for archiving, but here again the quantity is still the problem, tags or folders can proliferate. The BeOS file system used tags, but one could show a tag as a folder. I think that concerning the archiving, the usability is a matter of good practice in first. Point 1) is a good idea.
