Why can't we let the top panel stay and hold the indicators? 1. Panels/notification bars are used in *every* major OS (Windows's is odd at the bottom), from desktops like Ubuntu and OS X to mobile platforms like Android and iOS. It's a very familiar paradigm that people are comfortable working with.
2. The panel can hold lots of functionality (Title bar, notifications, BFB, Menu) at a low cost to screen real-estate (~24px, I think) 3. Removing it requires integrating the indicators with the launcher, which is not what either of them were designed for.
