No, it is pretty much the same as before. Quoted 'current_timestamp' has
nothing to do with the SQL9x standard, while unquoted CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
does. For 7.2, we are dropping the somewhat interesting 'current' value,
which was evaluated at the time a math operation was performed, at which
time it became equivalent to 'now'.
