There is no comment for the _expires field. The comment talks about
node and the struct element node.expires which replaced _expires, but
still has the same semantics as the old _expires field. So the comment
is correct and stays.

Aside of that this comment is wrong and pointless. It says:

      @A: bla A, which also manages A

Pretty useless.
