I wouldn't be able to use it if it were expired:  I found out the hard
way - by forgetting the expiry date, and being told about it.  I had to
take crash course in altering key expiry dates (IOW; I searched the
internet for how-tos) and then uploaded the newly updated key to the
server network.

Time to update a few keys, I think.  Please read Teemu Likonen's post
about polluted keys.  Shouldn't be a major problem (only a handful are
known to be poisoned) but better to be safe than sorry.

We've all done it.   ;-)
