Regardless of whether you personally support or oppose the possibility
to override the expiry date, as it's your decision, I do want to point
out that this creates an issue with encrypt-and-sign. Although a little
footnote saying "hey dude, since your key expired in April, I had to
sign in April" could be added. I do wonder how many people would
understand that footnote, though.

.... which further highlights that adding options to make life easier for people who don't understand what key expiry means, or how to manage it properly, is probably not a good idea. :)
