I would be happy with this. I don't mind a bit of policy creeping into
qemu as long as we're exposing the underlying mechanisms.
If it were me, I'd do:
set-password $protocol $secret
unset-password $protocol
expire-password [never | $seconds]
And I would implement expire-password in terms of unset-password.
