> A dag will accept, in its default_args, a `start_date` as simple as 
> `2019-06-01`.  If it detects a string, it converts to a richer type ([code 
> reference|[https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/airflow/models/dag.py#L217-L221]]).
>  However, it will not accept a similar string for `end_date` instead an 
> exception like this is thrown:
> {code:java}
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>  File "/airflow/tests/models/test_dag.py", line 210, in 
> test_dag_naive_start_end_dates_strings
>  DAG('DAG', default_args={'start_date': '2019-06-01', 'end_date': 
> '2019-06-05'})
>  File "/airflow/airflow/models/dag.py", line 244, in __init__
>  timezone.convert_to_utc(self.default_args['end_date'])
>  File "/airflow/airflow/utils/timezone.py", line 92, in convert_to_utc
>  if not is_localized(value):
>  File "/airflow/airflow/utils/timezone.py", line 38, in is_localized
>  return value.utcoffset() is not None
> AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'utcoffset'{code}
> That's a very confusing user experience.  `end_date` should be as permissive 
> as `start_date`
