In general our guideline is to avoid setuid root binaries whereever possible,
and solve the problems they solve with better design(s).
(As setuid root binaries are found to be entrace vectors for exploits from time
to time, even without the binary itself at fault, but also because of unsafe
library usage....)
Here really GNOME, KDE, the Linux Plumbers (freedesktop.org) worked together to
have a working solution without setuid (and have a general single system
service).
And other desktops are welcome to also use it.
So if the design does not require it, no.
(
We could even replace the sys helper by a perl/python/other script that wraps
the necessary DBUS interfaces or other shell scripts.
)
For cpufreq ... i dont know if there is a interface, would have to put out
inquires.
