I like the expiry date also.   At the very least it helps people see, to 
a rough approximation, which internet-drafts are being maintained and 
which are not.

I also think that if one is searching for a particular (current) I-D, 
the default search results shouldn't be flooded with drafts that are 
arbitrarily old.  But maybe that's the only purpose that an expiry date 
serves any more.    If a WG wants to adopt a draft that's > 6 months 
old, I don't see why they shouldn't do so.
