This change will only affect AMD, as the intel non-free drivers do not depend on the changes. It is also unclear how this would affect nvidia. There is barely any hardware video acceleration support for nouveau anyway, for which you would install the proprietary driver. Further, as NVIDIA does not expose a vaapi interface, you need to install third party packages to get it to work with Firefox. So AFAICT this will primarily (if not only) affect AMD users.
