Suicide ganking should remain viable, but I do hope that the adjustments they are talking about refer to the insurance problem which can make it nearly cost-free to suicide gank.
I think this is correct. I believe that if they make it so that if you initiate aggression, you don't get the insurance if you lose your ship, the suicide gank would become a costly operation if done only for fun and laughs. You would have to pick a lucrative target, and the wreck had better pop the right loot, or you've just lost isk.

Cost isn't an issue. Whether you use an expensive battleship or two cheap cruisers you can obtain the same effective DPS. If you had any clue on the subject you would also know that Concord response has also been increased exponentially over the years. If you actually took the time to understand how the game mechanics worked, you would understand what is required in order to defend against such attacks in the first place.
Changes based on ignorance and incompetence will result in the same end result.
It sure helps to get isk back from insurance. If you believe that cost isn't an issue, then you won't mind at all if they change only "if you get CONCORDED you get no insurance payout".
That won't stop ganks on ships that are worth ganking - because it's a fat freighter or a faction CNR it's worth the gank.
But it would stop the "I'll gank an empty retriever just for the fun of it" - well, that will cost you a small amount right there...

Like it would be worth the security hit to gank a single insurable retriever. Look how stupid you are.
People are doing it every day in empire space. Maybe not you, but a lot of people.
Really stupid ganks...
