That's not really the case. It may change consistency so that it behaves a little differently and fouls up automated stencilling machines (which are the most finicky devices on the planet), but with a human in the loop, you can expect most of a decade unless you let it dry out or do something daft. I'm still happily using stuff with a 2007 expiry code, in (big) plastic syringes. Still behaves fine. (and the benefit of the stirred-in flux and excellent wetting does make paste a joy to use compared to even good solder wire). 'Expired' solder paste can be a bargain.
