Are you serious? why all the FUD?
They've already released full 2D/3D documentation for r300/r700 of their GPU's, that's hardly a snails pace.
AMD/ATI is phasing out support for r300/r500 chipsets in their latest Catalyst drivers, they're recommending the open source ones now.

If you take 5 minutes to think of the possibilities, a vendor releasing binary blob drivers can pull support for your specific chipset at any time they want.. given the closed nature of the driver, you cannot pick up where the left off.. back porting possible security vulnerabilities would be impracticable if not impossible.
You're left using old code, running in kernel space.. and you have no idea what it's fiddling with.
The open source drivers are hardly worthless, it takes time to develop a driver, it's not an easy task.. you can hate the vendor all you want.. but at least they're doing something beneficial in this economically difficult time.
Your views related to binary blob drivers clash with OpenBSD philosophies, you would know this if you actually did a little research.
