Streaming replication set-up,

one master, 3 slaves connecting to it.
I expected ps -ef gets all wal-sender processes and SAME information I'll get via select * from pg_stat_replication. 
Instead I observed: 
- pg_stat_replication is empty
- 3 wal-sender processes up and running
- each slave has wal-receiver process running
- replication works (tried to create a table- it appears in all databases)
Question:
- why is pg_stat_replication empty?
