Wasn't meant to be a loophole, it was meant to be a way for people to keep the VA that currently have relied on the VA since it'll now cost skill points to have as an SA.
That being said, I don't want to encourage people putting one point in it just to be able to use it, so I'll talk with Bort about not being able to add points into it as of the rollout date of the archetypes.
