Just wondering if the datetime type was dropped on purpose from
PostgreSQL 7.3 ?

Yes. Ad-hoc name translations in the parser create bogosities with
respect to schemas --- I forget the details, but it was either drop
"datetime" or make it a reserved keyword. Since datetime has been
deprecated for a couple releases now, the choice seemed clear.
