If I wanted to change my schedule so that I'd keep 6 weeks of dailies, 8 
weeks of 2 week periods, 13 periods of 4 weeks, 0 8 weeks, 16 of 16 
weeks, and delete them after they age 1825 days, then all i'd need to do 
is change
 

$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = ['6','8','13','0','16'];
$Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = '16';

correct?
