Yes, it's needed in the case of xdm, that starts the server as
root. This line makes the X server give away the listed devices to
the _x11 user, before revoking its privileges.

You will probably notice that the mouse is stalled when switching back
to X after loging in a text VT. This is a know problem, that will be
handled after the release. (you can use the -keepPriv option to X in
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers for now as a workaround, but you'll loose the
benefits of revoking privileges).
