I would vote for auto-update being a settable property for a timestamp column, not an implicit property.

    I see no reason to have TIMESTAMP unless they automatically update.
     If you want to set a time, just use DATETIME.


And a lot of people rely on that auto-update behavior. It is incredibly useful.
