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?

(thanks to rmxz for finding this)
