Extended Expiration?

I'm considering making some modifications to the
ACTION_EXPIRED_DATED.  I've been getting innundated with SPAMS using
dated addresses that expired over two years ago.  I'm assuming that
they've been culled from USENET.  My thought was that I would create
two tiers of expiration: EXPIRED and ANCIENT, so that you might have:

ACTION_EXPIRED_DATED = "confirm"
ANCIENT_LIFETIME = 30d
ACTION_ANCIENT_DATED = "bounce"

What would happen is this:

After a dated address expired, but before ANCIENT_LIFETIME,
ACTION_EXPIRED_DATED would occur.  After ANCIENT_LIFETIME,
ACTION_ANCIENT_DATED would occur.

Before I do the work on this, I was wondering if anyone (other than
me) thought that this would be a useful feature and if so, what the
probabilities would be of getting it incorporated into the codebase.

Thanks,

P.S. I'm glad to see that TMDA has had some new releases.  It's too
     good a piece of software to stagnate.
