After further review and discussion on this item, we determined it's best not to change existing behavior, but fix the docs to align with current behavior. Introducing a change in behavior for hashed password expiry may break automation expecting to rely on this feature.

Since the introduction of hashed password support in cloud-init released in 2017[1], the hashed passwords are not expired. Let's retain and more clearly document that behavior.
