Comment:

 Fixing this properly would involve changing the schema to use NULL instead
 of zero dates. This is not viable - there are thousands of plugins that
 expect the zero date format, which will all break horribly if we switch to
 NULL dates.

 Changing the sql_mode is not a proper fix for this edge case.
