An expiration date is an expiration date. They are doing you the favor by holding it off just incase. I lost a decent domain recently that I have a custom design for and got me sales. Is it godaddys fault that I forgot about it. Its my fault. And I know godaddy email 5000 times before your domain expires to warn you. I have even got phone calls from them letting me know that my domains are expiring. They did there part. You have to do yours.
