It'd make sense:
Heavies - heavy weapons
Mediums - light weapons
Lights (or just Scouts) - sidearms
Or, you could address the problems causing the Scouts to outperform other suits as opposed to making a change that is not only unnecessary, but an awful idea for reasons stated in the last time a "sidearm only" nerf was suggested.
Lets look at all of the problems that would be addressed:
Now lets look at all the unnecessary playstyles that would be removed here:
- Scout w/Plasma Cannon
- Scout w/Mass Driver
- Scout w/Sniper Rifle
- Scout w/Plasma Rifle
- Scout w/Laser Rifle
- Scout w/[Insert anything other than Combat Rifle here]
Moving the shotgun would pretty much equate to every Medium Frame and their mothers, brothers, grandmothers, and next door neighbors carrying Shotguns in their Sidearm slot. This is bad because it would give suits capable of moving over 7m/s incredible ganking power with no actual sacrifice. (Just picture a Six Kin ACR with a CreoDron SG at 7.5m/s and 500HP of shields).
The real problems with Light/Scout Frames:
- Possible eHP ceiling is too high
- No firing delay on clacks
- Lack of incentive to use Assault Frames
Now tell me, which problem(s) would be addressed by revoking their Light Weapon Slot?

After reading this over, it seems like a very promising solution.

Don't put yourself down. As you of all people know, I've been guilty of similar things in the past. 
But at least you recognize that there is a problem, and at least attempted to form a solution to it.

- Amarr: 5% reduction of heat buildup on laser weaponry per level (functionally equivalent to magazine increase)
- Minmatar: 5% increase magazine size of projectile weaponry per level.
- Gallente: 5% increase in hybrid-blaster weaponry magazine size per level.
- Caldari: 5% increase in hybrid-rail weaponry magazine size per level.
This wouldn't be a better bonus, as the Commandos already have the same damage bonus (albiet 3%).
