Is it so, Boris, that what you really want is to retain the metadata and perhaps a thumbnail for all the images you offload from the catalog? There are other image archiving programs that support this; but which doesn't have the processing capabilities of Lr. Examples are IDimager, FotoStation and ThumbsPlus. Before I went for Lr, I very nearly decided to go for IDimager instead because of its amazing flexibility with regards to archiving. It was the integration of good processing tools and average archiving tools that made Lr come out on top. YMMV, so I'd encourage you to have a look at both IDimager and maybe ThumbsPlus. FotoStation is a bit on the expensive side, but can handle more digital assets than just photos. AFAIK, it's the most complete DAM software so far.
