Anything that's worth saving is worth saving in RAW. you should still do an initial sort and toss the obviously bad images. And you don't need to convert anything unless you actually want to use it. I have thousands of archived RAW images that have never been converted. But as I have the inclination or I get a client request, I convert them. And since I have been saving RAW for a few years, I always know I can deliver the best possible quality.

Finding them isn't that hard either. That's a matter of workflow and having a good filing strategy. And it would be the same with JPEG as RAW.
