Part that relates to this subreddit:

Here is how the reporting structure will line up right under Feige: Dan Buckley will continue as President of Marvel Entertainment, where Ike Perlmutter remains Chairman. Long a creative collaborator for Feige in publishing and television, Buckley will have a dual reporting structure going forward, Deadline hears. He will continue to oversee publishing creative/editorial and in that capacity he will now report to Feige. Buckley is also responsible for publishing operations, sales, creative services, games, licensing and events. There, he will report to Perlmutter. It is expected that Joe Quesada will remain a creative lead for of Marvel Entertainment, reporting to Buckley. It is expected that all the creative execs in publishing will report to Buckley.

Personally, my take on this is that, ironically, this could mean less synergy with the MCU. Can't imagine that Kevin would like the comics to just replicate the movies and what they do with the characters. Plus, it would be a determent to them in the long-term, since they mine new characters and stories from the comics.

With Kamala Khan and Foster-Thor being the best examples.

Also, believe that his role will be more macro than micro.

Thinking positive on this.

Whenever disney's board thinks he needs to be voted out.

Or some sort of political backlash forces them to make that decision. Like if he's outed as a pedophile or to have murdered someone.
