In my experience that is not true. Once a backup becomes obsolete (i.e.,
a subsequent backup is taken that covers everything in the original), it is
eligible for deletion from the flash recovery area and Oracle will delete it
when the space it occupies is needed for something else.

Hi
RMAN is very a mature product. It was already very good at 9i as you
noticed and excellent in 10g.
However your strategy might not suit very well in 10g and using a flash
recovery area because in order for Oracle to free the flash recovery area
you must send your RMAN backups to tape using RMAN command, i.e backup
recovery area otherwise your flash recovery area will simply fill up.
