Because almost nobody has complained about the lack of it. (I'm talking about actual field experience of there being a problem, not somebody objecting that it sounds like a feature worth having.) It should also be pointed out that we are still finding bugs in the integer-datetimes code. This is of course exactly because it's not the default --- but I feel sure that the average user who notices a difference at all, if we change the default, will be much more likely to hit a bug than to benefit. regards, tom lane
