Well, barring them ballsing it up entirely, I think it will be useful
in setting a new "baseline" on which the mods can further improve.
User-created mods usually replace only a subset of the textures, and
even if you have multiple texture packs installed you will still
probably run into some default graphics. The "remaster" will up the
quality of the defaults somewhat, which you can then further improve
with mods.

It might also help by reducing the number of mods you need installed,
potentially improving stability (I basically stopped playing Skyrim
because - with all my mods installed - the game froze after 30-60
minutes of gameplay. Uninstalling some of the mods fixed the problem,
but then I had default textures again, and who wants that? ;-)

One thing for sure, this remaster will give the modders a whole new
list of things to improve ;-)
