This characteristic of LIT however, does not mean you should every be converting to LIT, since converting to LIT is likely to lose features from the input file.
As for long term storage, simply store the original file. It is never a good idea to lose the originals.
And if you have no faith in the longevity of calibre, convert to EPUB in addition to keeping the originals.

This is more what I was intending to say. Don't convert to LIT from epub/lrf/etc. But if you have a LIT file, keep it around for conversion from as the master file for any new file type that may be created.
