Yes I do. I know users use it too.

We unfortunately still have enough NUMA locality problems in the kernel
so that overflowing nodes, causing fallbacks for process memory etc. are not uncommon. 
If you get that then numastat is very useful to track down what happens.

In an ideal world with perfect NUMA balancing it wouldn't be needed,
but we're far from that.

Also the numactl test suite depends on them.
