I used the old indicator because I run CPU intensive processes and I wanted to know when they finish.
I also think that knowing if some process is running wild is very useful. On the other hand, if you have two cores, and are running a CPU intensive process on one, having displayed only the maximum frequency will not tell you what happens on the other cores.
I like very much the idea by Karesz (comment #11); after all the space on the bar is wasted by the (useless) CPU icon more than by the thermometers icons.
