AMD will still have a proprietary, closed source OpenGL/OpenCL driver. Just, none of it will run in kernel space.
I think the biggest concrete benefit that might be had out of this is that using the proprietary driver won't be as painful during kernel updates, maybe some kernel side bugs will get fixed compared to the current open source offering, and perhaps using VGA passthru with virtual machines might work a little better being as that's mostly a concern of the low level kernel side code that's becoming fully open source.
