I dont think it will end well.
CCP, stop until it will be too late. You will not gain money on this.

Heh, i think I know what will happen later.
They will introduce other Clone states, after Alpha there will be Beta, with more skills able to be trained or active when not paying for subscription. Of course the state will be altered with you buying a certain item for aurum in shop.

So when new Clone Grades? Oooops I mean States.
You can always monetize the skill capacity they are able to hold and use. Remember, greed is good.

Why not focus all these efforts on making the product better, rather than simply opening up more avenues to selling it?
I can't say this is wholly a terrible idea, but CCP isn't simply aren't addressing attrition enough, thus it leaves a terrible suspicion in the player base that you are just hoping to burn out the life of this game in an ungracious manner, milking it for all the worth that is left in it.
Yes, this may get new blood in, but the past years have just had terrible and sweeping changes which leave left persistent subscribers scratching their heads as to why they are even subbing any more. Hilariously emotional balancing on capitals, draconian changes to jump drives, a gutting of sov mechanics and content seeds, a stale and brittle ship meta, etc.
Work on the NPE driving players to seek other players. Make holding space actually worth something. Fix the dinosaur standings mechanics so joining FW isn't a life long 90s MUD era grind to fix.
Throw a bone to the veteran, persistent subscribers, and soon.
Amen.

I think they should make them Alphas pay for occupying petition queues.

Will they be able to send ISK to other accounts, and to write in chat and to send PM's?

CCP is afraid of calling it f2p because of the bad reputation in EVE community. Because whales, elitarism and fear of CCP pursuing a dream of cash grab, like in 2011 when Jita monument was destroyed. All fears materialized.
Everyone here probably at least tried some other f2p game. These can be very restrictive on what you can do when playing for free. Sometimes they start just like a glorified, extended into infinity trial with "BUY ME!!!" messages that constantly spam your screen. There are cases (AOC) when company started with this model, and even called it f2p because they thought it will make them more money. With time, company seeing how it doesnt make them any more money and subs are dropping constantly tried to extend freedom for f2p players. Didnt work either.
If you want subscriptions, work on core gameplay.
