I don't see/use it as message decryption device. In about 20 years of
gpg usage, I have received maybe 10 encrypted messages. For my the prime
usage scenarios are:
* signing as verification (uploads to Debian, git tags, ..)
* using gpg key as ssh key
In all these cases expired keys cannot be used anymore, thus also not
abused. If someone has access to my computer and can decrypt one of the
10 messages, I really think I have a bigger problem than these 10 msgs.
