To be honest, CCP Rattati: Apply the changes, but be very ready to reverse them if it fails. This is how you do lean development right? :)

Anyway, as in my edit I re-evaluated some of my perspectives and while I still think that Active Scanners should focus on Range and Caldari Scouts should focus on precision, there have been some interesting suggestions.
I don't think it's necessary to remove shared passive scan, but I do think that the Caldari Scout does have too much range for it's precision. It's a mobile radar that never goes away, which is a problem. A problem that could be easily tweaked by removing the range bonus on the Caldari Scout, but if you're going to do that you might as well remove it from the Gallente Scout because it contributes nothing to it's specialization of dipping under TacNet.
You could change the base range, but then you'd be singling the Caldari Scout out and giving the Gallente Scout even more range than it does. So, there's that.
EDIT: To elaborate more for CCP Rattati, I think the general concensus is that the Caldari Scout having the capabilities of such a low precision (as low as 15db) accompanied by a high range (50-75m) is completely usurping the use of Active Scanners and by default, Gallente Logistics. By removing the scan range bonus, you reduce the maximum range by 25% and force them to focus more on their precision abilities while not extremely limiting their range capabilities.
Although, the gallente scouts are the range masters ;) 4 low slots you know. I ran 150m scan diameter when I still played the game:

No, its a scouting role that spots enemies, but dont kill as effectively as a slayer scout.

Scouts do recon. Its their job to scan for the squad, just like logis ress/resupply/revive/occasionaly scan.

To all these stupid people trying to reduce the scan range of scouts - go DIAF.
