The result will be two datatypes datetime and timestamp_int or timestamp_float.
This is not happening, at least not without 100 times more work than
anyone has shown willingness to put into the issue. It seems fairly
clear that everyone thinks the int64 datatypes will be the mainstream
usage, and the float implementation will be interesting only on very
old platforms or for very specialized applications. I cannot see us
putting in the effort needed to refactor the code as two
simultaneously-available datatypes.
I understand your arguments, but it is important for in-place upgrade. If you
will start new postgreSQL on e.g 8.3 database cluster, you need method how to
process floating point timestamp. Minimal we need to have cast from floating
point timestamp to integer timestamp. I put it on my ToDo with low priority.
