I've been wondering where the expel option is because of some disgruntled dwarves, especially that Legendary Axedwarf with a very high anger propensity.

(v)iew - (p)references - Expel (or Send Away, I forget).

Ah thanks, was looking at the wrong menu. Do these dwarves have a chance to coming back?

If you send them away to a holding you own, you can call them back anytime by using a messenger (unless they leave that holding, which they might).

If you just exile them into the wilds, I don't know. You can't call them back, but I don't know if they're blocked from ever coming back.

According to Toady, they're not supposed to. However, in one fortress, an exiled carpenter became my fortress liaison, returning yearly to throw tantrums and injure fortress dwarves until finally going insane on-site. I'd recommend you remove your axedwarf's equipment prior to exile, just in case.

You could also send him to single-handedly conquer a site--either he dies, is imprisoned, returns unsuccessfully (and is sent back to finish the job), or succeeds and becomes an administrator. In any case, he shouldn't spend enough time in your fortress to cause problems.

Should there be a hotkey for expulsion? It only shows a ? sign for me.

You're using an old version of the keybindings file.
Compare yours (with a tool like notepad++ or winmerge or something) with a newly downloaded 47.05 vanilla file and add the missing keybindings.

It's also worth noting that if you embark on a 1-tile island (such as a volcano), you have no access to the mainland. This means you can not send squads on missions or expel anyone.  But of course, immigrants and caravans still come to your island.  I guess they swim along with their floating wagons - or they fly - not sure which.

Migrants and dwarven caravan arrive via developer hand waving.

However, I'd be surprised if the option to expel a dwarf without a target destination (the one I observed selected a target destination on his own in a mainland fortress, and so didn't stay in the wilderness) gets disabled just because you happen to be on a single tile island.

My mistake, the expel option is still present (post above edited for posterity).
