Mostly just developer tools won't do the right thing when given a codename alias (like unstable). And when working on Ubuntu packages, tools that won't know the name of the development release. So small impact, and only on developers. The only affected packages are ubuntu-dev-tools, devscripts, cloud-utils, bzr-builddeb. Personally, I use distro-info to drive cron jobs and alias generation in my bashrc, but anyone in that situation has probably already backported it.
