Why is e.g. this one broken:
int8 database_size(name) - Return the size of the database in
bytes (by name)

It should do the same as the one with the oid except that it will resolve 
the name first, no? If not it should be fixed, not dropped. I understand 
you'd like to have those functions for the GUI frontends, but what about 
psql users? For many people it will be hard work to type the subquery to get 
the database oid.

I vote for all (possibly corrected) functions to be moved into core.
