Autoremoving expired passwords will surprise users, and not in a good way. Making a password, even an expired one, disappear from the system will lead to astonishment. Among uses of an expired password are cases of it acting like a tombstone, and the case where the user may want to extend the validity of a password, instead of having to create a new one and change application configuration(s) to specify the new password.
