Does 2.1.0 handle the item_expire node configuration option for automatically removing items after a certain number of seconds? It doesn't seem to have any effect when I pass the option, but hopefully I'm just doing something wrong. I really need this feature.
Thanks in advance!

Not implemented
I didn't find in mod_pubsub source code any reference to item_expire. The only similar code found refers to pubsub#expire.
Notice that the option was added to XEP-0060 very recently, and it's yet a work in progress:
And mod_pubsub in ejabberd 2.1.0 uses version 1.12 of the specification as a base.
