Honestly I think that all sounds brilliant. I believe they talked about reducing webber effectiveness before they launched Trinity as well, but they decided against it (or I'm mistaken and it wasn't actually seriously considered by CCP at that time.) The changes to nanos and such sound like they've been given serious thought.
I'm sort of 50/50 on the subject of the close-range scrammer stopping MWD's though... but then to be in close-range scram range you have to expose yourself to all kinds of EWar, so I guess your enemy at least still has that potential advantage.

Imho this speed change is more designed towards the fact that you could get invulnurable by going at a certain speed, which was not intended by the devs of course. A today called nano-fit will still be able to orbit large chips way faster than they can track, and it will still be able to disengage most of the time. The only thing that is going to get removed is the omgwtf IWIN button version of some special ships
There's nothing wrong with outrunning the tracking of larger ships. The trouble with the nano gang was that you really do need a very specific counter to it, and I don't think the cap ship vs cap ship argument is entirely valid here. Cap fleets are a separate facet of the game entirely. Nano gangs consist of sub-caps, which the vast majority of Eve ships are, and having to use highly specific counter-gangs or counter-setups to a nano gang is limiting the sub-cap dynamic and turning people off of trying out radically different or experimental setups out of fear that they'll get thrashed by someone who just nano'd up their own ship.

The MWD killer scram is a big nerf to gatecamp evasion, now that I think about it. Kinda off topic from the discussion that's developed about nano's, but still relevant to the proposed speed changes.
