Well reading the posts I guess its unanimous, ccp has got it wrong, AGAIN. They seem to have placed a great deal of importance on Anoms. They are useful tools within the game, but that is all they are, a tool. It appears that ccp would like to see more conflict within 0.0, but having lived in various regions of 0.0 I see plenty of it going on all the time. I note a mention of the difficulty in small alliances getting a foot hold in 0.0. This has always been difficult for small alliances, and can only be overcome by those alliances or corps growing themselves to a size that would make them more attractive to larger alliances or coalitions. For a smaller alliance to move into 0.0 usually happens by way of renting. Without the anoms, the smaller alliance has limited avenues to make isk to pay the rent, as the host alliance will retain the moons, so CCP just killed off renters, so we can expect to see smaller alliances re locating back to high sec.
I see earlier a mention of changes to moon goo and how it is distributed. Moon goo needs to be more evenly distributed, so that all racial regions have a share of all the racial goo's. Moons are the means that 0.0 alliances can afford to be in these areas. It costs an astronomical amount of money to live in 0.0, with the sov bills etc, not to mention, replacing ships lost in conflicts on a regular basis. The cost of Jump Bridges and system upgrades, not to mention the cost of an outpost, can only be done by large successfull alliances, who invest huges amounts of time ISK and energy into their respective 0.0 area.
To suggest that these allainces are going to give it all up, and move to another area because they dont have anoms any longer is ridiculous in the extreme.
I do not suggest I have the definitive answer to this situation, however I do know that I have personally invested a lot of time and money to play the game, not to mention the time and ISK in game to achieve the things that I have so far, but if I have to abandon my investments every few months to satisfy the wims of CCP, then I guess I would just be better off leaving and investing my money in another game.
I would hope that some common sense will prevail here, and that these proposed changes are put on hold and a great deal more thought be put into this situation. As we all know, once the changes are made, and even if reversed at a later time the damage will have been done.
