That doesn't matter at this point. The draft has been forwarded to IESG for review. The draft termination date relates to the point beyond which discussions should not continue in the working group without an updated draft. Once last call as closed and forwarded to IESG the expiration date is not relevant. It's important to expire drafts because ones that don't progress can be dropped.
