I would literally gain nothing by doing it. The sole reason would be just to give AMD a little more market share and hope the Ryzen chips age better as more games start to move towards more threads.
Either way I doubt there would be any buyers remorse. I just have little faith in AMD's ability to keep up.

Threadripper should be out then. It's going to kick Intel's ass at that price point. 16 cores/32 threads and 64 PCIe lanes for $849? Wow.
I think Ryzen is really going to mature into a nice platform for AMD. I didn't feel super awed by the release at first, but I think the next reiterations and the maturation of software support is going to make it extremely competitive down the road.
