The EAP server never actually has control over the lifetime
of a key
that it has handed out to other parties. Even with the MSKs,
it is only
a guidance. The authenticator may enforce a lifetime based
on its
policy. 

So, the question really is about whether the guidance
provided should be
the same regardless of the purpose of the key.
