Indeed, with AMD, VIA and the recent announcement from Atheros about 
their ath9k driver (and improvements on their ath5k driver), Intel and 
their GEM, and many, many other hardware enhancements. Sure AMD will 
still have their binary blob for graphics, but they're coming clean with 
open source support for their products, open source 3D support for their 
recent hardware should arrive soon, and maybe their previous hardware 
can get improvements from these recent releases. Interesting times indeed.
