Eek! Scary WordPress 2.6.2 upgrade time. It seems to have gone fine.

I’ve been resisting WordPress 2.5+ as long as possible, but wanted to install Atropos — a plugin that allows you to set an “auto-delete on a certain date” tag to your blog post. Atropos only works with WordPress 2.5 or higher. Useful for time-sensitive calls-for-participation and events that won’t mean much in a few months. Although future cultural historians may seethe and whine.

You can also use Auto-delete 0.71, which will optionally move flagged posts over to a discrete category, such as perhaps: “It happened, you missed it”.
