K25 is no longer in production. What's on the shelves is it. I think the 
question doesn't matter for K25.

I have recently used a couple of rolls of 11 years-old Ektar print film, not 
stored in the cold, and they seemed fine. 

I'd be surprised if they wouldn't be OK after 20 years dry frozen storage.
