I feel this functionality should be in the core, like Joomla, etc. But since it 
isn't – I installed Gtuk. Just click "Activate" and you have a new option in your
posts/pages edit screen. Set your unpublish date and forget it. Nice! I've got a
ton of other plugins and am using a theme from ElegantThemes and no conflicts or
problems. Thanks for this much-needed plugin!

Works as expected. Tested with a custom post type. Reverts back to draft at appointed
time like a charm.
