How does arresting DPR reveal the identities of the sellers on SR? They should be safe.
Only thing that will change for them is that they will start selling on BMR instead of SR.
I don't know enough about SR code to know if seller identities are compromised, but the FBI is going to be asking a lot of questions and DPR has a lot of answers. The FBI may also have been collecting data for months or years. These are not mall cops we are talking about. Only thing that will change for them is that they will start selling on BMR instead of SR.
The more interesting question is how do they locate the server? They just busted Freedom Hosting not long ago. Are there some fatal problems with TOR?

I wonder if this means the mass arrests are coming? I would assume the FBI now has a list of customers and sellers. If you are a customer you may be safe, now that the DOJ has stated that they are no longer going after users.
How many individuals will they be targeting to take wealth and liberty subsequently as a result of site theft is my next question.
What was the end game for DPR ? Jail.
It was just a matter of time. 
He made some really big mistakes
1.Advertised Silk Road days after it’s launch on drug forums and bitcointalk.org with the username “altoid”. 8 months later he used this username looking for developers and included his personal email ([email protected]) in the message.
2.Using records from a seized webserver, the FBI agent subpoena’d his way back through a private VPN server to an IP address at a coffee shop on Laguna street in San Francisco. This happened to be 500 feet away from the house of one on Ross Ulbricht’s friends.
3.US Customs intercepted a package containing 9 pieces of counterfeit id. All 9 had photos of Ross Ulbricht with different names.
4.Ulbricht posted on Stack Overflow using his real name, asking “How can I connect to a Tor hidden service using curl in php?”. One minute later he changed his username to “frosty”, but a subpoena shows the original name.
Biggest mistake, he decided to stay in the US while having 26,000 bitcoins in his wallet.
Now he can explain Bitcoins to the homeys in the prison.
