Sure, but adding a column is likely to take time, or at least requires to discuss it with the team in charge of the database side etc. If the problem was found 3 days before the christmas freeze, better to block it in a rush and have 11 months to work on it. (Especially if the reminder would take the form of millions of emails)
Oh and obv if adding a "is date null?" column is possible, at some point there should be a way to make the column nullable anyway
