MySQL Frustrations or: The Tale of Two Timestamps

#1293 – Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause

MySQL Lists discussion about this

This makes me sad, especially since that discussion thread is a year and a half old, but the fact that Dmitri mentions a community-submitted patch gives me hope. Is anybody working on this?
