Hedging against uncertainties, postponing decisions when possible, recognizing that benefits, demand, and users will change, anticipating better information over time—these are the habits of mind that mark responsible digital stewardship and will help husband scarce resources while creating enough flexibility for bold moves and rescue of endangered assets when that becomes necessary. - Blue Ribbon Task Force, Sustainable Economics for a Digital Planet: Ensuring Long-Term Access to Digital Information
