Celsius can go negative, which may be yucky and hard to test. Kelvin generally doesn't suffer this problem. (yeah, yeah, quantum stuff...)
Getting temperature display into "top" would sure be nice, but not if that means requiring a library that almost nobody has installed. It's good to give apps a simple way to get CPU temperature, including per-CPU data for SMP systems when available.
Info about sensor quality would be good. For example, my CPU measures temperature in 4-degree increments and is not calibrated.
