Does it get too dry? Go stale?

Is there something that makes dried pasta unable to rehydrate?

In dry stuff it's generally the fat going rancid.

Though I've used 5 year old pasta and it was fine. The fat may have been rancid, but I suspect between boiling and immersion in sauce you just wouldn't taste it.

(Also, rancid fat isn't necessarily harmful).
