It will supplement the engineers in new ways that accelerate, or allow them to offload tasks/work to it removing the need for so many engineers.

Being able to easily set up iptables rules to add to ipsets, sys-adminny things could include ansible playbooks, configurations etc.

I can easily see teams being reduced.
