   How long?
   IIRC,  CURRENT  has been replaced by OLD after I've fixed the   rewriter.  Both have been there between 6.4 and 6.5.
With6.5   CURRENT was gone.
 
   Of  course,  removing  END/ABORT will touch many applications   using transactions, but I would vote  for  it
anyway, since   it's standard.
