That's a possibility, but it's somewhat awkward.  Also, for decryption
keys that I keep just in order to be able to decrypt old stuff, I
would not really want to change the expiration date: The key _is_
expired, I have no intention to change that -- I simply want to use
it anyway.
I'd still vote for a new option that makes gpg ignore validity
periods.
