Password expiration is deprecated, and will be eventually removed. The functionality of expiry(1) is the most superfluous of password expiry and can be removed early. This shouldn't conflict with any existing regulations about password expiry. Link: <shadow-maint#1432> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <[email protected]>

From my perspective as both a project and Fedora maintainer, this looks good because it reduces the amount of code we maintain without losing functionality, given that chage already offers the same thing. But I am concerned that this tool is being used in several distributions such as Debian, Alpine, and openSUSE. It would be interesting to CC their maintainers so that they are aware of this change. |
