From what I have read, nothing will change much. Tools stay the same, those Altera FPGAs with integrated ARM cores will continue to come with ARM cores and not suddenly Atom cores, and so on. So I wouldn't worry too much. Intel actually has a much better track record for openness wrt. drivers and specifications than Altera.
Okay, good. Honestly though, I wouldn't mind an FPGA with an Atom core. I've always wanted to work with an Atom processor.

I know. It's just that for my Billy project, I'm using an Altera CPLD. I have it ready to be installed.
