This is the result of expire-iso8601 -r -u86400 -s10000 14x1 4x7 The problem is that the oldest backup (kept for 4x7) never gets replaced because the next-oldest (kept for 14x1) is never old enough. I think the fix is to count each spec twice, once with a minimum interval (choosing the newest) and once with a maximum (choosing the oldest).
