No, for me it's not true.
If you select more than one file in overlay you get number of selected files and total size of them.
How can you get these information in list view?

I also think an overlay is needed. Another use case is where a user may not realize all the files that are selected (as these may not be visible in the current window), and so may accidentally delete files which were not intended. An overlay which displays number of files selected would not eliminate this, but would certainly help. Another cool thing (feature request) would be if the overlay had some interactivity, so if you hover the cursor over it, it reveals more information about the files selected.

I second Mako' thoughts, either leave the statusbar or provide another way to show those informations
