Gentoo's ebuild includes:
$(use_enable !pg_legacytimestamp integer-datetimes) \
meaning that by default --enable-integer-datetimes is passed to configure,
but if the pg_legacytimestamp use flag is set, then --disable-integer-datetimes
is passed instead.
They document it as:
<flag name="pg_legacytimestamp">
Use double precision floating-point numbers instead of 64-bit
integers for timestamp storage.
</flag>
Ie, w/o any kind of deprecation notice.
I don't know how many (how few?) add pg_legacytimestamp to USE when
merging postgresql. But it is still available as of 9.6 and also
with their live build of git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git.
