You cannot assume the user is around to rewrite their nLockTime, if it = fails to be confirmed before some arbitrary deadline being set.

It's hard to argue with that logic.

If nLockTime is used for expiration, transaction creator can't lie to help tx live longer without pushing initial confirmation eligibility
into the future. =C2=A0Very pretty. =C2=A0It would also enable "fill o= r kill"
transactions with a backdated nLockTime, which must be confirmed in a
few blocks, or start vanishing from mempools.
