With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

perhaps i'm wrong, but...
the adaptec driver (as it is now) would be removed from the generic kernel. i think, you could still compile the driver as it is now into a custom kernel by activating the option in the kernel-config.
so only difference to the situation now, is the extra effort for compiling a new kernel. oh, and "official" support is only for a generic kernel so you won't get help with a buggy "adaptec-kernel" anymore until this situation is resolved.
