Whether a registry supports it is entirely down to their policy, and they
can declare that they support the extension in their greeting document.

Whether an object is first class or not doesn't really effect whether it
may expire.

Then in that case, the registry need not support the extension, in which case
the objects will hang around in the registry's systems until they're
explicitly deleted.
