Seems it is still in there somewhere:

    test=> create table bb (x timestamp default 'current', y int);
    CREATE
    test=> insert into bb (y) values (1);
    INSERT 16591 1
    test=> select * from bb;
                   x               | y

    (1 row)

Do you mean that 'current' is now the same as 'now'?  :-)
