Seems like an interesting addition but i don't really see the advantage of only being able to take frigates to fight the guys you are connected to... seems like it's a case of taking a knife to a gun fight.
Fozzie, please don't ignore this comment:

Any word in that regard? I know people have talked about letting the rorqual do clone swapping.

Yeah the more i think about this addition the less i like it. I hate how popular interceptors have become in k-space due to their op mechanics, and the last thing i want to see is wormhole space full of ceptors...
I think this wormhole would be better suited to a new class of wormhole system. A system that has no moons to anchor a POS and profitable PVE that can be ran by a strong frigate fleet.

I get the concern Rek. If I had a concern, it wouldn't be interceptor gangs, it would be bomber gangs. I'm still not adverse to this change. I still see the potential (and I'm less worried about K-space invading with interceptors because there are easier fights to find without having to map out a giant wormhole chain just to find the pew). We are willing to do it (because that is what we do).
Interceptors spring to mind because I think people will bubble these unclosable holes straight away, and as your know, interceptors give zero fucks about bubbles 
Has Bronya decided to move the corp into a C4 yet? Seems perfect for you guys

Fozzie, please cancel the small ship wormhole idea until you have some new content deserving of this new connection.
There is no need/place for this given the current mechanics/content.

You know i'm right fozzie...

Frig gang invades your WH? Get literally 5/6 bombers and bomb away - fun for days. It will be nice to see something other than cloaky t3's all the damn time.
But why would a frigate gang invade wormhole space if they aren't doing this already?
The only groups that would benefit from this limitless frigate sized wormhole are huge null sec alliances... If they feel like it, they will be able to flood your wormhole with a 400 man frigate and HIC fleet and there is nothing you can do to stop them.
It's a nice idea that is poorly implemented.

They already can do this just using normal holes, so what is really changing? Just that they can go out and back in again. What are they going to do with 400 frigs in your hole? RF some POCOS, if they try to go for towers a) the hole will be gone before the RF timer and b) they will horribly die when the residents fight back. The only change is once every month or so you will have a hole you cannot close for 16h.
With the existing mechanics you can close the hole to prevent the streaming in reinforcements but with this new wormhole, you don't have that option.
A 400 man fleet could easily maintain system control while they wait for their pos bashing fleet to arrive.

Why do you care is someone swaps their clone?
Allowing clone swapping in wormhole space may encourage more people to take part in pvp and to fly different ships other than armour T3.
If the change happens, feel free to stay in you slave clone while you fly and interceptor through the new small wormhole. When we pod you, we'll have a good laugh on comms at how foolish you are.

How do frigate only wormholes allow you to try new fleet concepts out?

Exactly. It's not like you are unable to fly frigates now...

Either remove the frigate holes or do one of the following:
1. Make them cruiser class wormholes that only have a 8 hour and a high spawn rate
2. Introduce T3 frigates
As they are, they're an annoyance and don't add anything to the game. It's bad game design and you should feel bad ,CCP.
