Consider a set of fixed membership types (e.g. for adults, families and children) valid from Jan 01 to Dec 31.

For next year you plan to increase the dues and their structure (May be you cancel the dues for families and each member has to pay separate.)

How would you proceed?
After everybody has paid it member dues - you simply change the structure!? - Or does this affect all previous payments:
- Showing all the old membership dues of 2007 in the list for 2008?
- Error messages since I just increased the minimum due for adults and for the 2007 dues of course I got basically lower amounts than the new minimum amount?

Does this mean one needed a kind of expired membership types who are still alive to get a proper view of the previous years?
