I have zero doubt that Red Hat has consulted the users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that matter, and that this will impact. The commentary of users on LWN and HN may be interesting, but not likely to be representative of those paying for RHEL on desktop/workstation. (I’m talking about sizable accounts here, not small shops that might be paying a little.) I am no longer at Red Hat but in my experience the product marketing managers, and product managers, and account folks had a pretty good finger on the pulse of their customers.
