And now that devblog has been released http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=28606

Next thursday

There are two conditions needed before we split the Destroyers and Battlecruisers skill in four:

• We need to overhaul destroyer and battlecruiser ships themselves. Cutting your ability to fly those ships by four without taking care of the underpowered hulls is a no go, because that would mean new players going for one racial line would have a hard time having valid options in these two classes.


• We need to have a very solid skill reimbursement plan set in stone. Most likely, we would take care of the Destroyer and Battlecruiser skill refund in one move to be done with it and avoid the same inconvenience twice for our playerbase.

So no, to my knowledge skill changes are not coming in April; what we are most likely going to start with is to have a look at the tech 1 frigates and cruisers, then move up as time passes, but nothing is fixed yet.

We will do our best to let you know in advance if the skill changes are due for a specific release.

The 'real' content is coming May 22nd (ish)

So reading that quote between the lines suggests that if I train destroyers and battlecruisers to 5, I won't simply be given all the new racial skills to 5 when the changes come in. It sounds as if people will be reimbursed the skillpoints for the general battlecruisers and destroyers skills and then have the option to decide which racial skill they want to put their points into.

Would be nice to have some clarification.
