No, they didn't fail until InCommon floated the validUntil out past the historical 2 week interval it's been set to, tripping the filter to start rejecting it.

The most I would say is warnings should be paid attention to, particularly in critical categories like metadata classes. Logs do nobody any good if people don't read them or alert on them.

It hadn't, it was a recent update that broke them. It hadn't expired, it was just being treated as invalid.

Any messages about expiration have to do with the fact that it was holding on to older copies when it couldn't refresh the feed, and those copies finally expired, leaving nothing to use.
