Maybe. If within 2 generations everything has switched it'll likely be fine, although many not-easily-replaceable devices (like cars, for instance) will still use the old port. I think the concern is that everything won't be standardized within 2 generations, and instead we'll see the slow death of third party cables. And if that happens, it's likely that increased DRM and reduced freedom will follow.
