In the absence of these functions, one has to run VACUUM just to be able to see the freespace information; putting these functions in contrib/ is just asking for extra work from DBAs, who IMHO are not very comfortable with 'make; make install'. If a feature is mainstream, so should be the functions to extract information about it.
