I'm for that one. Anybody working with fractional float timestamps
should already understand that they aren't exact. I can't see the value
of expending any great amount of effort on this.
There is maybe some argument for removing the float timestamp code
altogether, but I think that that's probably premature. They were
still the default in 8.3, and we are still supporting in-place upgrade
from 8.3.
