If you define a column as:
col    timestamp
In 7.2.x didn't it default to timestamp with timezone?

And now in 7.3(b1) it defaults to timestamp without timezone?

Is this right?

/HISTORY says right at the top:

     * TIMESTAMP and TIME data types now default to WITHOUT TIMEZONE

I'm sure you all have discussed this ad-nauseum but this sure does create a
pain in the butt when converting.

Ok, I had my say.

Thanks for all your hard work,
