Not exactly, but if an admin "removes" the corresponding version of the workflow associated with the item, it might cause the "thread" to "disappear", even though the item/document will remain.

If you have a more recent version of same workflow, it will not "take over" the action of the old one. It will activate on a document change though, if set so.

Do sharepoint workflows ever expire?

I have lots of forms published to sharepoint all with a workflow to send emails etc. but after someone submits a form it could be weeks or even months before the form needs to be opened and progressed - does the workflows expire at all or will they always work and send the emails even after weeks of just sitting in the sharepoint library?

Thanks.
