When creating a new subkey, I'm given the option of setting an expiration.
The prompt allows me to specify a duration for the new subkey.

Please specify how long the key should be valid.
         0 = key does not expire
      <n>  = key expires in n days
      <n>w = key expires in n weeks
      <n>m = key expires in n months

Key is valid for? (0)

Is it possible to set an explicit date (e.g. 31 Dec) rather than a
duration? I suppose I could compute the number of days, but that's
annoying.

Yes, it is possible.  At the prompt, enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD
format.

Awesome. Would you consider updating the prompt reflecting that capability?

Thanks for the tip.
Joe
