According to the 2008 sensor manual, the gyro measurements vary with temperature as such:

The “R” output varies by 8.4 millivolts per degree Kelvin. A temperature of 298 K (about
25 Celsius) will give an analog output of 2.5 volts. Higher temperatures will provide
higher voltages. Cooler temperatures will provide lower voltages.

So, you would probably use it if your gyro is mounted in a location where the temperature might be changing a lot. We didn't use it this year, and just sort of assumed that termperature was a constant. It probably would have been a little accurate if we had used it though.
