I run a site dedicated to people who build their own computers. Like you, I am not terribly concerned by this move. From my experience, the number of people who upgrade CPUs keeping a given motherboard, or upgrade motherboards keeping the same CPU is very limited. CPUs typically don't depreciate in value that much, and by the time someone does decide to upgrade availability is limited to the point that prices often go up rather than down. If you wait a year or two, it's often more cost effective to just upgrade both.
