This article scared me badly! I am glad to say that I am from one of the states (WY) that is fighting this already. The rest of you better be writing your legislators on this issue!

Actually, if you actually read the article, all of the complaints it makes really only affect the people working at the DMV. The article lays out what the DMV will have to do to make the conversion.
There is no ill effect to you or me, unless you depend on an illegal ID that is.
