I think each class will get ALL the skills that were previously available to those classes.
here's a quote from jayde on topic (just been posted 5mins ago) :

After all, which is more simplistic?

Option A:
-Pick one: Guardian or Halberdier at level 20

Option B:
-Pick if you want to invest in 1h/Shield feats or Polearm feats 20-80
-Pick which type of gear you want to get over 8 different tiers
-Pick which weapon combo lines you want to use 20-80
-etc.

I would think that the second option is more of the "thinking man's" type setup...therefore, I can't really see it as a dumbing down at all.
