I didn't see it in the posts (might have missed it), are reprocessing facilities going to be removed then from Engineering citadels when Refineries go live?

Not sure how you came up with that.. at least directly. Sure, we don't know specifics, but it has gone from being a huge passive isk generator to an isk generator that requires bodies to run well. Stuff like that usually ends up removing isk in the long run. And with the numbers of moons many of the larger alliances have, you are talking a lot of potential drama and diplomacy issues too. Not to mention the fact that quite a few low-sec and null-sec alliances are going to be seeing if they can muscle their way into the mix as well.
Plus, I didn't see if moons were limited to just one refinery or if more can be had.

I remember that argument from several times over It never came to be. Humans and their behaviour, what can I say. Maybe it's time for an invasion of aliens - might be better odds at getting some common sense in this universe.
Your previous post compared this to POSes, but I don't agree with that comparison. POSes required fuel, yes, but outside of that it is a passive isk generator that needs only a single person to maintain. This new system requires multiple people (and don't say bots, because this would be the perfect bot trap in CCP's mind) and there is only finite amount of time a single pilot can give. Not saying the smarter alliances won't find some way to mitigate or even find some financial advantage, but we can only speculate from what we know.
And so far, this would break up the stranglehold on a lot of moons.
