To each his own.  Glad it's doing the job for you; my experience has
been that it's useful when there's a need to match some date-oriented
business process:  backups on the last day of the month, for instance.
_Very_ useful there.

Well, five minutes setting up five frequency-based schedules gives me a
configuration for that Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yeary and a daily
differential thrown in for free--and it never has to be touched again.  

I don't have a system handy, but

Name             Frequency   Retention   Window
diff               1 day       2 weeks     daily  2100-0300
full             1 week      1 month     Fr, Sa 2100-0300
full-monthly     1 month     3 months    Fr, Sa 2100-0300
full-quarterly   3 months    1 year      Fr, Sa 2100-0300
full-annual      1 year      3 years     Fr, Sa 2100-0300

The Friday/Saturday on the fulls is only because many people freak at
the idea of fulls running during the week--ideally, I'd have all
schedules on all days.  Piece o' cake.  Every day there's not a full,
there's a diff.  Every weekend, whatever full is appropriate runs.  Zero
maintenance.
