That won't happen because it is not a bug. You will have to search the kde (not opensuse-kde) mailinglists archives for the explanation but the setting did not make sense, neither for increasing cpu performance nor for saving battery.
actually it makes sense for bugs like this: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13486
That would make it a tool to work around bugs in other applications.
also in regard to rogue processes consuming 100%CPU (if you notice that within a minute, having the CPU on low power will probably have consumed much less energy)
See above. If it only makes sense on buggy systems that have process going crazy it does not make sense for the normal use case, i.e. working on a stable system. KDE is meant for the normal use case.
but ideally I'd agree with this setting being removed (having to execute a possibly unknown (to the user) command for this is also not ideal - especially if the feature has been around before)
Those that consider this useful because of their buggy system/apps etc. can still use the command line to force on the CPU whatever they want. It's the same as with overclocking your CPU.
