Regardless of your controlfile_keep_record_time, you wouldn't
necessarily *lose* your old backup entries.  Assuming you have saved
your old controlfile backups (e.g. you have the retention set correctly
on your tape backup), you could always restore an old controlfile to
view the old backups.

I say the logic is correct, with one possible caveat that you would not
wan't to stay in this situation too long, if the controlfile record
capacity has "wrapped"/overflowed over the one-week default for backup
info, you will losing the oldest entries about backups. It depends of
the "window" needed of recoverability. controfile_keep_record_time
global init.ora setting.
