I'm sure it will - the kernel in every release receives periodic updates. But 4.6 is only a "candidate release" - a technical preview if you will while bugs and such are fully baked out of the pie for final release. You'll see one of the 4.5 kernels first - hopefully with a fix, but it's also possible that a fix might not get backported. We know there was a change, but what the change hasn't been pin pointed exactly - makes it a bit harder for the Dev/packager to backport a fix since the exact issue with the driver wasn't pinned down. Then again, I suppose they could just backport the whole driver from 4.6g, but that might lead into other bug's or issues... I'm sure they'll try to figure it out.

Aside - I don't have random black screens on the Windows 10 side. I do have (multiple) other AMD graphics drivers problems on that side though... But let's not continue this discussion - this is supposed to be a bug report and I'm sure the packagers/maintainers/Dev's would rather see discussions relevant to the filed bug.
