As long as this thread is used to present ideas, as opposed to just threatening to quit, then I see no problem. And I surely wouldn't want to deter any developer from sharing his opinions. Also I'm sure that when they start to consider things properly there will be a dev blog we can all comment on 
Anyway, here are my ideas so far.
Clone Limit
I have to say that I think new clones will need to be introduced. Otherwise the loss of skill points would be a deterrent to people entering/using 0.0 space.
New Characters
As has already been mentioned, CCP could adjust character creation so new characters get a rank or 2 in all the basic learning skills to start with. This would be quite a boost in training, and isk savings for a starting character.
Also new character types could have more stat points could be introduced, however, I would not think that increasing the stat points of existing races would be a good idea.
Advanced Skills
Clearly the advanced skills are a higher rank, and more expensive to learn. Also, I think that the benefit per rank of advanced skill could be less than the basic skill.
If CCP think there is a need to make certain advanced skills more accessible to new players, then they could adjust the entry requirements to rank 4 from rank 5. This would also make learning the 5th rank of a basic skill a real commitment.
Older Players
Like many older players, I have a wide selection of skills, and a spread of skill points. In my opinion this was necessary when I started, but for a new player joining an existing corp, this will not be as necessary. And I don't really see my diversity as an advantage.
Also, the requirements to be a specialist depend upon the area of expertise. I consider myself to be fairly good at research, with over 4 million skill points in science skill, but I only have one of the Rank 5 T2 research skills at 5. And at 1 1/4 million skill points each and well over a dozen skill, a real expert is going to need a lot of points.
