I'm aware of those methods to expire objects and I can tell you that they are already in use for cloudfront.d.n. Even with them I still need to re- enable cloudfront.d.n from http.debian.net as from time to time it fails a consistency check and gets banned. Looking at report.txt right now it seems that some got banned again.
