scheduled unpublishing / post expiration

[youngmicroserf]

Is there any particular blog-philosophical reason why this isn't yet possible in the core version while scheduled publishing has been a longstanding feature? As usual with such issues, client requested WP, but wants features that aren't easily supported in WP. There's a plugin called post-expirator (​http://homeworker-directory.com/blog/how-to-make-your-wordpress-posts-and-wordpress-pages-auto-expire-on-a-chosen-time-or-date-with-post-expirator/) that does this in a way, but given WP's apparent increased use as a CMS I think this should be a core feature.

This is probably not a common use case. I guess the plugin fits better.
