If this thread is really about Alliance PVP and fleet battles with the combination of Shield/Armor tanked ships and their RR counterparts...
Wait... no... your on about BSs... just BSs... and that in order to fight, they all need to armor tank to be, well, successful...
Youve got a Falcon... well ****, you know thats dead off the bat, as an FC you laugh at the pilot under your breath and hope "haha" he doesnt get primaried.
Youve got a armor tanking Raven... well, by your own words, you say that Ravens and Caldari ships in general are "auto-primary" so regardless if its shield or armor tanked, its gonna die.
So which is it? FCs needing an armor tanking capable ship for this so called "mandatory fleet", the seriousness of alliance pvp? or the fact you need to vent something on the forums about alliance warfare that you should deal with internally on your own first and set a benchmark, a milestone, an example to the rest of Eve to show this so called "mandatory fleet for 0.0 alliance"?
Should anything be done about a single race not being able to fit into your "mandatory fleet" of RR armor BSs?
Simple answer...
No
Adapt or Die (and Emo Rage Vent on the forums saying "I NEED THIS TO WIN!")
Simple answer, simple choice.
Edit-please notice I edited this post 
Insightful post. Nice to see actual PvPers weigh in. Perhaps the OP believes EVE may EVOLVE and was hoping the Caldari race might evolve also.

I agree with xxxak except for the part where he insults 99% of the posters  .
Maybe we can find the solution to the problem (Caldari BS don't fit into rr armor gangs) by imagining what a Caldari Tech III BS might be like.
If the races are at war perhaps they might steal each others technology. This makes sense and New Eden has been at war for a while. To use recent warfare examples the Allies might have fielded jet aircraft or the Japanese may have developed an atomic bomb.
So the Caldari might learn to effectively armor tank and create a hybrid BS that would be like a BS class Sacrilege for example.
Maybe the Caldari could design a ship around a new module, and area of effect POS like shield that reenforces the fleets shields significantly, effectively reducing incoming DPS. That would be a nice support role.
Insert your wild idea here for your own race's tech III BS.
Bottom line is as of now if you are Caldari and want to PvP at the BS level you must crosstrain. BS warefare I think is going to become more important in the coming years to support Cap ship battles, etc.
It should be possible for a character to remain "pure" Caldari and get in on this action.
So again I think the OP has a point.
