You know, in one way LPI has gone back to the 'never expires'.  The status
flag is, to me, more of what it states; an _activity_ flag.

Back when the policy was changed to 'expire in 10 years', what would have
happened?  I know that the system wasn't setup to do anything (the nice thing
about a 10 year window to implement something ;)) but I'm guessing that the
action would have been (something close to?) deletion.

I see a difference between 'expiry' and 'activity'.

I agree that this would have been nice.  Y'all may be shouting at windmills,
though.  How many LPI directors are on this list?

As with Taki, these are my personal opinions...
