no, it'll stop distributions from shipping kernels with both drivers built-in, modular kernels will work fine, X picks the driver to load, if people are building in the drivers then I believe they know what they are at...
Having both drivers built-in is obviously broken and actually doesn't work at all (someone reported it in an Xorg bug...)
