Research direction
Review the context in linked PR #1540 to understand the previous discussion. The issue suggests that failing lint on a date may be inconvenient for users who set TODO comments to expire in the future. Investigate alternative approaches such as a warning instead of an error, or making the behavior configurable. Look at the rule's source code in `rules/expiring todo comments.js` and consider potential changes to the rule logic.
