I'm not sure why you confuse information gathering and (maybe
particularly) quality with paper storage or electronic storage.
The reader will get exactly what they ask for whether or not it is the
current model. At a minimum products are marked with their part numbers and
date of manufacturer. If I haven't already stored the BOM when the project was
completed, a very simple search of the electronic data base allows me to pull
up the BOM's and drawings in effect, for the part in you hand. Surely any
minimal quality system insures that the product is built as directed by the
BOM's and drawings actually in effect at the time of manufacture.
Once asked for a specific product you either go through some paper heap
in a file cabinet or you go through bits in an electronic file cabinet.
How does any of this equate to minimum acceptable limits - simple seems
efficient to me.

There is a problem with "..the reader is guaranteed to get the latest revision
as stored in our Document Control system."
The advice I offer is "focus on the principles - reduce risk - reduce liability
- preserve evidence - aim for Quality don't design down to the MINIMUM
ACCEPTABLE LIMIT".
