None. This purely affects what a database dump file looks like (giant

Mirrors and those mining mediawiki datadumps care, ordinary users
won't see any difference.
The idea (in my understanding) is to standardize the dump format to
increase forward/backward compatibility. I don't have any problems with
standardization, but of course, as John puts it, we're still going to
have a lot of crap when it comes to database dumps, perhaps even more so
with XML.
