Yes, the expire program is useful for storage backends that are not 
self-expiring (CNFS).  I'll homogenize the wording for timehash and 
timecaf to mention that.  The nightly expire program deletes old 
articles by either compacting CAF files if they still contain available 
articles, or removing them.
