RMAN doesn't delete obsolete archivelog backups in 10g

Hi, I'm having a big issue of space in tapes, as Archivelog Backups are not becoming obsolete.This is the situation:
Retention Policy to 60 days
 - Monthly hot full backup with a keep until of 2 years
 - Weekly hot full backup
 - Daily hot incremental backup
 - Archivelog backed up every 1 hours.

In 11g, instead of LOGS option we are using RESTORE POINT, and it is working fine, all archivelog backup become obsolete if they are out of the recovery windows of 60 days, no matter if there is an old hot full backup.
Does anyone know if there is any option or workaround for 10g in order to have the same results as in 11g?

Howdy, Stranger!
