They are necessary and they work exactly as designed.

The point with the expirations are not to by all means exclude the user
from using the beta, but rather to make it absolutely clear that the
software is only beta. By explicitly setting back the clock the user
must have acknowledged this. That way it is avoided that some users who
don't realize that they're using beta software report bugs that have in
fact been fixed long ago.
