This is terrible. As I've said before: Another change that will remove the need to put expensive ships on the line to make ISK.
In times not so long past, people had to use Tengus or at least Drakes to farm anoms, and also BCs like a Myrm or a Ferox to suck gas. Those were targets juicy enough to encourage hunting them.
Then they introduced the horrible thing that is the Venture. People mostly stopped risking T3s and just farmed ladars with Ventures. The nominal ISK/hour may be a little lower, but you don't have to take any precautions and can just afk-farm whenever you are online, so the overall income rose even when prices fell. From a hunter's perspective the Venture is a worthless piece of junk, so the amount of prey running in the wild was vastly reduced. Hunting Ventures would be like hunting ants.
And now they want to enable us to farm mags and rads as well. People will do them with nearly uncatchable and worthless cov ops frigs.
Somehow CCP seem to think that ganking is bad and we shouldn't do it anymore. We are all supposed to peacefully bear the ladars and mags, then engage in honorable arranged fights

Yeah but it's probably only so hard now because of a few bugs, like skills adding only +1 per level to your virus strength instead of the +10 they will provide eventually.
Also I don't really have a problem with the removal of sleepers if the hacking game becomes hard enough that you have to spend some time exposed in the site and need to have acquired some personal skill to crack the game and maybe even need to possess a certain level of intelligence (as a person) to be able to complete the more difficult sites. Especially the last part would greatly reduce the competition for those best sites :)
But we should be forced to bring valuable equipment to do those sites. For example, completing the best sites could require a certain new T3 subsystem, so people would need to bring a T3 to do those sites.

Ah, nevermind, sleepers will stay in w-space data and relic sites after all: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3075571#post3075571

Team up to create Time Dilation, then farm the system for data and relic sites?
