I understand your point of view about simplicity. I always look for that when coding. But you can't ask users to behave like you think it's right. Just trying to make a positive comment here. Please, don't be offended. People will find It much easier to ditch an app than to change the way they behave.
But i think we can find a middle ground. You could make your app have a simple switch, without any GUI, without changing the default behavior. Then, the community can work on an GUI (app indicator and so on). I think it's win-win situation. Simplicity and nobody has to reinvent the wheel.
Info:
For users that want to fallback to version 2.6.2. It can be done by using another ppa.

$ sudo apt-get purge caffeine && sudo apt-get autoremove developers/ ppa
$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:caffeine-
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:behda/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install caffeine
Note: Caffeine from behda/ppa is not working on my Ubuntu 14.04 properly. To make it work i am using the source code.
Still, i Installed Caffeine from behda ppa. This will resolve dependencies and configure/installs icons, shortcuts... Yes, i am lazy.
Get the source file: /launchpadlibra rian.net/ 167583984/ caffeine_ 2.6.2.tar. gz

Change executable on /usr/share/ applications/ caffeine. desktop
Also, change the unity startup executable.
