Let's not forget there was a reason for expiration.
Expired != invisible
Expired = no longer *published*.
IMO, the "expires" indication on an ID indicates the expiration of the
ability of the ISOC to publish the draft.
So IMO the ISOC is then violating the terms of submission of a doc if it
posts it publicly in perpetuity.

I think making it clear that the archive contains expired documents is
necessary, but expiry by obscurity isn't going to work.
It worked for a very long time. If you're now claiming it cannot work,
you need to consider the potential effect on the ID process.
If IDs are published forever, ***WHY BOTHER WITH RFCS***?
