Geo becomes useful by conversion to something human understandable, like a map or a named location.
This is kind of a pointless debate, for two reasons. First, it's impossible to retract an already-published standard. Second, the goal of microformats is to standardize markup of *already published* content, so if you're not already publishing latitude and longitude coordinates, geo is irrelevant to you. You shouldn't be adding content just for the sake of using a microformat, whether the microformat is geo or anything else.
If you only want to map addresses, you don't necessarily need to publish latitude and longitude for that. There are plenty of services that will map plain text addresses to latitude and longitude coordinates, so a published addr is often enough for mapping.
