Personally, I think that the present way things are done is

As I've explained before, I don't think that this is the same as
hardcoding it into the key, as it wouldn't change the fingerprint, would
it?!

No, it would not, which is IMHO the right thing.

I.e., IMNSHO I feel you should expire your key by expiring your
self-signature on the key.  If you want to extend your key then you
re-sign it with a new self-signature.
