Hi Aron, +1 on db defaults as well, I've actually started experimenting on this last week. It's a bit tricky because migrations do use db defaults in some operations (and drop them once they are done) so we have to ensure that the new feature doesn't interfere with them.
However I don't think we should create them by default, instead I propose the introduction of a db_default kwarg, which should be either a constant, or an expression (e.g. db_default=contrib.postgres.functions.TransactionNow).
