All,

We've been carrying this warning in our docs since 7.4:

"The key word ABSTIME is ignored for historical reasons: In very old 
releases of PostgreSQL, invalid values of type abstime were emitted as 
Invalid Abstime. This is no longer the case however and this key word 
will likely be dropped in a future release."

So given that it's been depreciated for 5 versions, maybe it's time to 
rip it out?
