No.

Yes.

The expiry date is not embedded in your cryptographic key, merely 
attached to it as a signed ‘packet’.

Of course, OpenPGP has a reputation to maintain as the most 
confusing software on earth, so all these packets are stored 
together with your cryptographic key(s) in a single file that 
everyone calls your... ‘key’.

Anyway: Guix ignores expiry dates by design.  It merely verifies 
that each commit was signed with an authorised key.

Kind regards,

T G-R
