I did wonder about this, but on the beta page it says:

"Upgrading a desktop system using an ATI video chipset with the fglrx
binary-only driver may result in a warning that the driver needs to be
replaced. There is a bug in the driver replacement logic, so if you see
this prompt, please cancel the upgrade until this is fixed, which will
happen immediately after the beta release. "

so I wondered if this was what it was referring to and they had it
covered?
