I was looking on how to include expired articles on a list of articles rendered by article_custom, without having to change the "Publish expired articles" preference. I ended up here.
Is this still in the roadmap? or is it already in TXP 4.4.1 but issue is still open?

In the meanwhile, I used smd_article_event (from smd_calendar plugin) to get the desired output without changing the "Publish expired articles" preference.

Past their expiry date, expired articles are output according to the
'publish_expired_articles' prefs - a site-wide setting which affects the
range of electable articles for both XHTML output and RSS/Atom feeds.

For feeds, this behaviour seems sufficient.

OTOH, XHTML pages should allow expired articles to get published in any
arbitrary fashion, at the designer's discretion. An additional attribute to
<txp:article[_custom] />, <txp:recent_articles /> and <txp:related_articles /> would be reasonable.

@Bloke what's your take on this? Been open for years and not sure it's still an issue? Close or keep open?

It probably has value, I just haven't looked at the referenced thread and immersed myself in it. Will try and do that this week and see if there's anything that can be done about it.

FWIW, <txp:article_custom /> (thus <txp:recent_articles /> and <txp:related_articles />) accepts expired attribute and outputs expired articles accordingly. Can be closed, I think.

Great, thanks Oleg. Good enough for me - closing.

While we are there, we could extend the binary expired to time values. So, expired="-10 days" would mean "not expired before 10 days ago". Just for fun :-)

If it's easy to do, sure, why not. Might as well really make this attribute totally head-scratching! But as it would open up some interesting event-based possiblities, it has value I think.
