As Dave already pointed out, serious admin tools will avoid views. We have to deal with version specific issues anyway.
I don't see why phpPgAdmin would avoid using the views, unless some serious randomness happened that we had to support. The unimaginable craziness of currently trying to support multiple versions of postgresql is pretty bad, and the information_schema is next to useless for these things since it doesn't have PostgreSQL specific things in it.
