Just a short weekend post.
The problem is that now you can both rat in your carrier and use it as triage in PvP. After the change you need 2 ships and 2 set of skills. If CCP doesn't duplicate the skill, you can't do both without training for 2 months/race. If CCP duplicates the skill, you can just learn them now once and sell them twice by extracting.
My solution is a simple switch on the options tab, next to the "try out the new camera". It says "Duplicate carrier skills" If you did not check it when patch hits, the carrier, triage and fighter skills turn into unallocated points for you to place where you wish. If you did check them, your racial carrier skills duplicate into racial FAX skills, but both the carrier and FAX become un-extractable skills like cybernetics.

Um, CCP backed down from splitting the skill (just the ships) so while you do need to train fighters (where the skills have been changing too) there is no longer the problem with "playing" the skill changes.

They've already "solved" it. People complained too much, so they are getting rid of the Force Auxiliary skills and just renaming the carrier skill instead. You'll be able to fly both types of ships with the one skill. This is from here:
"Our original plan was to introduce a new dedicated Force Auxiliary skill. After player feedback we've decided to go another direction. Force Auxiliaries will instead use a renamed Carrier Skill. If you've already purchased a Force Auxiliary skillbook, the purchase price and any skillpoints trained will be refunded."
No More Force Auxiliary Skills

That requires actual interaction from people and that never works. The only way for it to work is for CCP to decide which for everyone otherwise people that have unsubbed for a while or have real life commitments and miss the notification will get pissed off.
