I'm not sure - there's a clear trend both in Ubuntu and GNOME to move away from traditional applets. The reason being that they take up too much space, are not positioned correctly, are inconsistent and generally clutter up the panel. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators

I agree that the countdown timer is a useful feature to have, but I'm not sure it belongs in the panel. Maybe an option could be to show the timer as a dragable "widget"?
