In my opinion, they could simply drop fglrx and focus on the open source drivers. Those might atm have inferior performance and OpenCL is still work in progress, yet they are quite a bit more stable, integrate with the rest of the linux desktop and (what's really important for me) give superior font rendering (although I have no clue why...).
Fglrx on the other hand might run faster and run more (but also by far not all) OpenCL kernels, but it crashes regularly, it requires X11 restarts for the most stupid things like switching off the secondary screen, it requires the use of either Cataclyst Control Center of atisetup to enable/disable monitors,... In short, it's pretty useless unless the only thing you are doing with your computer is playing games or cryptocurrency mining...
