Strange StopPublish behaviour, maximum 10 years from StartPublish if set to null on save

Hi!

We have an import job that creates variants and products. Some products are old and have a StartPublish date like 2001-03-01. When this product is synced we set StopPublish to null but then Commerce sets StopPublish to StartPublish + 10 years. Why is that? Should this be considered a bug?

Not exactly a bug, per se. StopPublish can be null, but EndDate is not, so when you are saving a catalog content without StopPublish, Commerce has to set EndDate to something, and that was chosen to be StartPublish + 10 years. This is not perfect but it works in a majority of cases, and quite reasonable if you ask me.

The obvious workaround is to set the StopPublish to some value that you are happy with.
