The default expiry of 6 months stays the same.
Anyone can for any reason declare an expiry of shorter than 6 months.
Any expiry beyond 6 months must be approved by the relevant part of the IETF/IAB/IRTF. In the case of standards track IETF drafts, that would be delegated to the working group chairs for the working group. There would need to be a designated stuckee for other types of drafts.
None of that works if we leave any statement at all (either the 6 months text, or a purported expiry date) in the document itself. The only thing to say in the document, with today's hacked scheme or any future scheme, is "see the tracker for status".
