    I think this timestamp-as-a-boolean is a good idea if the field is always going to be interpreted as either True or False and nothing more. If the field in question allows for a 3rd (uncertain) value, then using a timestamp would be extremely confusing.

      And it all depends on the problem at hand. Any of those solutions can be acceptable as long as you have a well thought out model.
