Will there be devblog about the changes, I lost track a bit ...
To the experts who have followed, what is the effective change for relic and data sites value-wise?
From my relic expedition yesterday I recognize that data sites are still ignored by explorers and polluting systems ...

Make all cans unscannable. Problem solved, all explorers everywhere benefit.
This, so much. But I guess some code has to be written or changed for that ...

Make all cans unscannable. Problem solved, all explorers everywhere benefit. It is an indirect form of PVP, also if you have to hack all the containers it will only be a matter of time before there is more bitching about crap loot or nothing in a container which they had to spend time hacking. So they will either want fewer cans per site or better loot per can. Both of which will cause the value of the loot to drop even further. So no don't make all cans unscannable, keep them as is, if you want your loot to be worth anything.
Actually making cans unscannable increases the value of the (good) loot.  Because people who cherry pick now, will need more time and maybe get annoyed running the sites ...

No. When you are running relic/data sites in null, WH, and losec; you want to get in and out as fast as you can before someone comes in to ruin your day. If you have to hack every can, then the chances of you getting caught just went up significantly.
Which is a welcome change, more dead explorers, more fun, better loot prices. 
BTW, unfinished sites despawn, but it takes about an hour iirc.

I see, both points are valid, having more sites completed and people just leaving remains and down untouched ... not that easy to guess what will be the effect on loot value.

Judging from the intact armor plate prices, drop rates are pretty much the same. The price increase is due to higher demand in anticipation of the citadels. If drop rates increase, price would decrease.

That even seems to be the argument that Chance Ravine was making in support of moving them to signatures.
Rather I would expect more explorers die trying, but IIRC they are flagged as combat sites now, not data. All what CCP did, is increasing the access barrier ... which usually increase the value of the loot.

Put a bunch of rangefinding arrays on your ship if not yet done so and try again, also use sisters probes ... the sleeper caches need very high scanning strength > 100

In my point of view is before odyssey exploration was a really rewarding activity, after odyssey a lot less. So what change ?
Easy, now exploration is easy to do easy to start and safe (as lomg you take care). Even the scanning part is a lot more easy and while i love it become a non-combat activity it need to have more risk.
Because at the end the only real thing chamge in the exploration is it become more easy so a lot (but really a lot ) more people do it so the value pf the loot go down and no matter how you change the loot inside the site the value will jist go down because too much people can do it easely
Except the loot value is going up steadily ...
