Archetype Changes and backward compatibility

Changing an Archetype and backward compatibility:

I want to change the estimate archetype to enforce expiry dates.  Simply having an estimate being valid from 2 years ago is crazy - prices have well and truly changed...

So I want to ensure when an estimate is created it has an expiry.

I assume I simply change the min cardinality on the endDate node to 1.

What implications does this have for existing estimates that dont have an endDate set.  Am I likely to get archetype errors.

It will only be a problem if you try and save an existing estimate. E.g. if you invoice an estimate without an expiry date, the invoicing will fail as the estimate is now invalid.
