I am actually (sadly) won't be buying Ryzen because of this announcement. Based on Ryzen/Skylake benchmarks, looks like i7-7820X will be a better deal: 15-20% performance advantage (because of better IPC + faster clock) for only $100 extra. I honestly do not know how to consume more than 28 PCI lanes... Also, Ryzen seems to struggle on Linux vs Intel a bit. I have seen people complaining about it's unwillingness to use the Turbo frequency and its unixbench numbers are unimpressive, particularly execl throughput.
