OK, my two cents: this account I'm logged onto runs out a week after the elimination of "ghost training." I was going to take a break from EVE and set Wing Command V before the subscription expires, so I have the prereq to train Fleet Command when I come back. I had done before on a previous break from EVE back in 2004. A friend of mine I introduced to EVE did it too, when he lost his job and couldn't pay the sub for a couple months.
Since that's being taken away, I have nothing to look forward to upon my return, so probably won't. Not that any one cares, but as I said, it's my two cents here.
Adios.

could this be due to the fact iceland economy is in shambles and ccp want a cash infusion.
CCP should become a bank. Then they can get cash infusions from taxpayers.

I was going to take a break from EVE and set Wing Command V in a few days, when Command Ships V finished. It's also a Rank 8 skill, 34+ days training time. It would have been nice to come back from my break and have the prerequisites for the Fleet Command skill all done. How long do you suppose I've been paying for and playing this game to be looking forward to coming back from a break ready to train Fleet Command skill?
No need to guess. Here's the billing history:

2007-10-24 Sale wxyz AMEX 71.70 USD
2008-04-24 Sale wxyz AMEX 71.70 USD
But now I have no long-term pre-requisite to leave training as my account expires. It's not that I'm leaving because this change has made me mad; I was going to take a break anyway. But what incentive is there for me to come back? So I can pay for 2 month's game time to finish a level 5 skill that is a pre-req for another skill?
Fat chance.

Last year, a friend of mine joined EVE after I showed it to him. Later, he lost his job and needed to cancel his sub for a while until he got new income. At my suggestion, he left Gallente BS V training before his account expired.
When he re-subbed, he logged in to find that Gallente BS V had not completed. We surmised that this might have been a bug due to the fact that he was logged in when his account expired and the server kicked him out. He filed a petition. After some consideration, THE GMS AGREED IT WAS A BUG THAT HIS SKILL DID NOT FINISH WHILE HIS ACCOUNT WAS INACTIVE, AND THEY GAVE HIM GALLENTE BATTLESHIP V SKILL.
Don't tell me that was a bug, too.

When was it ever encouraged?
Did CCP ever say "Hey, while your training that 34 day skill, you can leave your account inactive and not play or pay us. Have Fun when you come back!!!.
Yes, they did. But since the announcement, they edited the User Guide to remove that advice. First edit for the User Guide in five ****ing years!

No they never advertised this remotely in anyway or encouraged it.
You are wrong. Go sit in the corner.

Dont do Battleship V or Titan V if you dont want to, noone is forcing you.

Clue phone, it's for you. Battleship V is a pre-req for capitals and T2 battleships. You are forced to train that skill if you want to fly capitals or T2 battleships, even if you never actually fly a T1 battleship.
