I thought we could auto-remove old password if the valid-until date is
in the past.  You would need a separate ALTER command to sets its date
in the past without that.  Also, defining a new password could require
setting the expiration date of the old password to make future additions
easier.

For pg_authid, I was thinking of columns:

        ADD     rolpassword_old
        ADD     rolvaliduntil_old
        EXISTS  rolpassword
        EXISTS  rolvaliduntil

I did blog about the password rotation problem and suggested
