Now that DEFAULT 'now' will not work in PostgreSQL 7.4, will DEFAULT 'infinity' and DEFAULT '-infinity' and the like stop working as well?


No, because those values don't change over time.  The issue here is when
exactly does the default value get evaluated...

Ah, of course - but what about 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' - these should also be mentioned in the release notes.
