I disagree. Perhaps I don’t understand your complaint fully. Timestamptz column values are the UTC timestamp, but the returned time zone aware result will depend on your db settings, or even local time of your client. Which i think is what everyone would want. Storing an extra column time zone with a timestamp is just an inconvenient way to implement timestamptz.
