if anything this as just re-injected new life into the elsevier-protests and the sorry state of academic publishing in general.
elsevier's business practices are well documented and the protest is not just manned by some fringe people but has support from prestigious institutions and scholars.
with each new round like this people will educate themselves even more about open access and contemporary free and open source tools for academic work.
zotero probably will win this out and be pushed to mimic mendely features soon enough. zotero already is pretty good but its social features need to developed or integrated with other platforms like arxiv or academia.net.
last not least given googles science-bias and foothold in academia not least with google-scholar and google docs I wonder why they haven't made a move with respect to citation management.
