Probably yes. We won't know more until the combat balance. Nothing will happen before then.

Short answer would be
YES
Longer answer would be last thing we were told by Dev are that there will be MASSIVE nerfage coming to all combat profession to bring them down to match the level of Mobs (which happened back in Dec 03) in attempt at Combat Balance.
To go along with that, they will redo every stat table in the game including but not limited to weapon, armor, med, buff, poison, disease, food, drink, skills, and anything else I left out.
until it actually happen tho' no one can definately say for sure.

Only thing I remember hearing is that there will no longer be multiple-thousand point statbuffs.

That should be interesting...
I wonder what people are going to do when all the work it takes to make a 900+ buffpack only raises your stats 900+ points.
I wonder how many docs will put forth the effort for that and how many will say screw it and stop making them. This might start a buffpack drought lol....
Hoard your buffpacks for the coming famine....hehe

Ask this question in about 60 days and you will probably get a better answer than any of us here can now. The only people that even have the slightest idea what will happen are the correspondents and due to Non-Disclosure Agreements they cannot tell us

Please stop peddling a rumour which you have no evidence for. If you do have some, present it. An old job advertisment for an existing position is not even close. SOE owns everything to do with the SWG game (IP rights, code base, hardware etc), it merely operates under license from LA. If LA cancel that license SWG is over, LA will pay huge financial penalties to SOEand LA will have to design a new game from the ground up. Something it has no staff for as it has just laid off it's own devs and farmed out projects.
As for buffs, they will be changed in the combat revamp. A change that is badly needed.
Oh and yes, I have Master Doc on my bio before anyone brings it up
