No.  It is just that v3 keys are deprecated anyway and the solution
for v4 keys is much simpler: just change the expiration time of the
key. 

I don't think that there so many expired v3 keys out that it is worth
to add option/command 166 to gpg ....

Hmmm, we have --ignore-time-conflict and other strange options.
So in this light my arguments are not so sound. Okay, what about
--allow-expired-keys ?
