draft expiration warning with zero time left is not useful.
cc @russhousley, @bacampbe ,@mskucherawy
Recently draft-ietf-stir-rfc4916-update expired. The chairs, ad, and authors were sent two emails, nearly simultaneously. The second noted that the draft had expired. The first said:
The following draft will expire soon:
Name: draft-ietf-stir-rfc4916-update
Title: Connected Identity for STIR
State: I-D Exists
Expires: 2022-10-23 (in 0 minutes)
That was a waste of resources at best, and a source of confusion at worst.
The expiration warning management command should instead have a configured buffer for which to not warn if the clock is close to running out. I suggest not sending the warning message if the remaining time is less than 12 hours.
