Not that often, but my reasoning was more like:
why people managing engines and/or developing on platform that does not support
libnuma would not deserve access to this information?

No worries at all, I do appreciate that you're looking at it and provide feedback
whatever the outcome would be.

I think that the hard work has already been done while creating
pg_buffercache_numa_pages().
Now it's just a matter of extracting the necessary pieces from pg_buffercache_numa_pages()
so that:
* the new view could make use of it
* the maintenance burden should be low (thanks to code dedeuplication)
* people that don't have access to a platform that supports libnuma can have
access to this information
