That's why most recent versions of GnuPG automatically create keys with expiry set to 2 years.
Ah.

I was looking at going with mailbox.org or possibly protonmail (though they don't have calendars at the moment and I use that), both apparently support it. As does Thundebird+Enigmail, K9/OpenKeychain.
I have noticed the AutoCrypt method.
Part of the reason I changed my email is because I had in the past submitted a few keys to the sks network which I lost the private keys to, they were also submitted with an infinite expiry. I was a stupid kid.
So I am unlikely to submit my new keys to the sks network. Just store them in my domain, WKD, and on my blog.
