Signature updates, yes, but not code updates. To make any changes, you need code updates, not signature updates.
Apart from 0.95.3 released about the same time the kill decision was made - could have put a code change in there. And 0.96 which was released a couple of weeks before the kill switch was flipped - could have put a code change in there.
And it wouldn't have been a major hassle to release a 0.95.4 just for this - almost certainly a lot less hassle than dealing with the fallout generated.
Forcing an upgrade by flipping a kill switch was AN option, but it wasn't the only one.
