Will The Next EVE Online Expansion Address Learning Attributes?

I've wondered when CCP would begin dropping hints about the planned spring expansion for EVE Online. Apparently the wait is over.
Partially Corrupted Cryschips generated some interest are a new item introduced for the pre-launch event.
This advanced cryschip is configured to store holographic data but has been heavily corrupted and partially wiped by a security protocol. In this instance the protocol was violently interrupted and some fragmentary data may remain accessible amongst the vast quantity of randomized information on this cryschip.

With just the right approach it may be possible to track down and decode what remains, thereby accessing a coherent data stream. Curious capsuleers may profit by trying data retrieval and seeing if something clicks.
The new items showed up on Hoboleaks with 120 entries in the table. The items are no longer hidden as players are finding the items and piecing them together.

What was found as of Saturday

Looking at the images found so far, the next expansion may incorporate a revamp of learning attributes. Usually changes are sent to players in encrypted form and from what I see, attributes are at least getting a revamp. And if attributes are getting a revamp, so are learning implants. Learning implants are often credited with inhibiting PvP because players don't want to fight with expensive learning implants in their clones. Is this a time the developers may address this complaint I've heard for 15 years?

Expansions always invite speculation. Introducing change through in-game means helps fulfill the exploration urge in many players. Now, when do we get the name of the expansion and a launch date?
