wal_buffers_full has been introduced in pg_stat_wal in 8d9a935965f, as some information providing metrics for the tuning of the GUC wal_buffers. WalUsage has been introduced before that in df3b181499. Moving this field is proving to be beneficial for several reasons: - This information can now be made available in more layers, providing more granularity than just pg_stat_wal, on a per-query basis: EXPLAIN, pgss and VACUUM/ANALYZE logs. - A patch is under discussion to provide statistics for WAL at backend level, and this move simplifies a bit the handling of pending statistics. The remaining data in PgStat_PendingWalStats now relates to write/sync counters and times, with equivalents present in pg_stat_io, that backend statistics are able to already track. So this should cut all the dependencies between PgStat_PendingWalStats and WAL stats at backend level. As of this change, wal_buffers_full only shows in pg_stat_wal.
