As a miner that used to mine 1.2 Billion M3's of ore a year, I feel I am qualified to have an opinion. I apologize if there is a thread for feedback, I didn't see any in the recent post.
So, I hear they want to pull rorqual bonuses out of the POS. As already discussed, that will be a disaster for small corps if they try to keep using it. But there is a compromise I feel:
Let the Rorqual give mining bonuses without Deploying! So it has to be on grid but isn't stuck there.
That may sound just as bad but trust me it isn't. when I used to mine 100 mil m3's a month, I did it running 8 hulks and 2 rorquals. One in the pos for bonuses and one in the belt for hauling. I would fill up a hauler rorq (cargo rigged for max hauling) every 15 minutes or so. Nothing else was big enough except freighters, and well freighters aren't that good of an idea in Null. I would use Capital Tractor beams and can mine with the Hulks. Alt out of system for emergency cyno. Normal capital precautions.
It's still dangerous because the time back to belt and turn around to align back to the pos is slow. But at least I wasn't stuck there. So, if you want rorq's out of the pos, let us bonus without deploying. We would be taking a risk then, but not a stupid risk like being stuck for 5 minutes hoping your mining buddies can save you. Even the big allainces are not going to want to have a big fleet on standby every time you want to mine (assumes we still have to deploy)

Why does everyone have an opinion on changes that haven't been announced yet, let alone finalized? Did I miss a secret dev blog where all the changes to the Rorq are discussed in detail? Pretty sure I haven't. So if I can't know what those changes are, neither can you. Stop speculating.

If only there was a forum for Player Features and Ideas Discussion...
When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Just WAIT until Alpha's get full forum access.
On one side I want CCP to give them full access ... ... because it would lead to a huge revolt.
And revolts are great. Also cause good press. At least for this game.
On the other side I don't ... ... because the revolt might not happen and people just quit or stop using it.
Because people are too "fat" aka spoiled and lazy nowadays.
Politics really ****** up people.

Like so many things in Eve it is up to you to decide if that added bonus is worth the risk of deploying. If not, then boost with a Rorqual without out deploying and accept the trade-off in yield for the added safety. Or use a cheaper Orca or Porpoise to boost instead. The reckoning has come for the broken mechanic of invulnerable POS boosting, and it is time for you to deal with it.
Seriously though, there is a whole thread to discuss your fears about actually having to make a choice and play the game with your fellow miners. There is no need to clutter up GD with another.
