+1, I don't think we should drop it.

Another suggestion: Can't we link the date format to the display of seconds? 
If seconds are shown, we can show a longer format date on the second row 
without having to widen the Plasmoid overall. If seconds are not shown, a long 
second row looks bad.
I don't really like putting it all in one row. The time is certainly what 
people need more often, even those that like to have the date shown, so it 
should be displayed more prominently.
