Worry about what you see when Lion is launched, and not before. I'm more concerned about what I don't see than what I do see in the rumor mill.
Most folks I expect will have their biggest problem with the loss of Rosetta and PPC apps.
Open System Profiler, select Applications, then select the "Kind" column. That gives you a list of all PPC apps you have installed when you scroll down. None of those will work in Lion.
You will have to find substitutes or run twos OSes, SL along with Lion, on separate drives, booting into each as you need it.
Lion is the first new OS that I maybe able to do without, if everything I read is true.
