Right. You can enforce the old two-digit behavior by explicitly defining
your columns to be timestamp(2), by using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2), etc.

That is to assist with upgrades from versions prior to 7.2. To support
the precision syntax, the parser explicitly recognizes TIMESTAMP and
related tokens, and converts TIMESTAMP internally to "timestamptz" and
TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE internally to "timestamp". In future
versions the parser tokens and internal names will line up more like you
would expect, but for this version they do not.
