You can still mix and match. A Logistics can still use any other Light weapon the idea is just to have a guide for new players. "If you are a Logistics, you unlock these. That means you should use something like this." It lets people look at each role and understand what the role is meant to do. It doesn't restrict anything across roles aside from Heavy weapons and the like. People that want to be more effective will always delve into a skill tree and planning tool like EVEmon or ask on the forums. People that wouldn't do that at least have some kind of guide on what they could do.
To Dennie:
The colors have me curious too. If the ones that had offshoots were the same color it wouldn't so hard to figure out but the white-light gray-dark gray has me perplexed. Looking at it more closely, I think the dark gray is something that all suits will have. The Assault will unlock weapons/modules and give an upgrade bonus (dark gray) same goes for any role. The light gray is probably a choice in what type of job you want to do in that role. So Logistics has Demolition or Squad Support while Assault would probably have Defense and Damage.
The interesting thing here is the people will likely have a lot more things they can do even if it is only half decently. If you have to go down Logistics to get Remote Explosives for your Scout, you are going to be able to at least use a Logistics suit as well as your Scout. The problem is "how much of a sink is this going to be?" Right now, you only 50k or so SP to get Remote Explosives. If you have to go down the Logistics role to get it in Legion that surely has to cost more.
Note: If a CPM or dev states that I am wrong about a larger sink, you have to say the line.
"This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
