No that is not stupid, because if you use it the way it is planned by mysql
the current time is only set on insert. I used it in former times (php) to
get the information of creation of an information. In such a scripting language
it is much more difficult to get a proper handling of such informations.
With cayenne this is very much easier, because you can put the handling
of timestamps in the validation-methods of the dataobject. So you have
one single point of timestamp management
