News Article (Content Puublishing) Still Published when inactive

For a News Article (Content Publishing) when the publish date has passed, the active checkbox is set to false, but the State is still Published?

How come?

Shouldn't the State change to Retired when it's not longer published and inactive?

 

We could build this logic ourselves, but I would assume it's a reason for why it's still in Published state when inactive, otherwise it would already have this logic out of box.

Ah ok, in Content Publishing with content versioning Retired state has a different meaning currently and *might be* extended to News Content in future. I would say active flag is equivalent to retired state for KB.
