You can delete your old key from the keyring.  However, you would also
lose the ability to decrypt old messages.  Thus in general not a good
idea.

>> gpg: Note: secret key [KeyID] expired at [Some day in September]
>> gpg: Note: key has been revoked

We can't suppress the latter diagnostic because that is an important
information.  The former diagnostic is also of some interest.
