This is probably nit-picking, but what purpose does step 2 (add
constraint disable) serve?

Wouldn't this be effectively the same? Or is there some subtlety that is
going over my head?
    add column
    update the column where null in batches - committing
    add the default
    add constraint enable novalidate
    update any columns still null
    validate the constraint
