Part of the challenge here is that it's hard to know in advance what is or isn't worth archiving. It may only be clear a few years later that some big chunk of now-dead data was important.
In that sense, curating all of it doesn't really matter as long as you archived it. Someone trying to find the data later (or curate it!) can find their way to the right URLs using other sources, and then begin the process of curating this archived data after-the-fact.
