I'll bet that if you look at the most connected V3 keys, you'll find few if
any of them less than a year old. Even less than two years old. An analysis
of "reachability" that does not consider key age at all is flawed, unless
you subscribe to the radical notion that the age of keys doesn't matter.

So as key expiry does not really work, now we are expiring key data
formats instead? :-)

which should finally solve that issue ...]
