CCP Fozzie has indicated that the new Gecko already has the Kronos stats. So come June 3, when the drone interfacing skill is cut from 100% to 50% you can expect to see Gecko damage nerfed by approximately 6.3%.

slight of hand.. "don't pay attention to those nerfs behind the curtain.. look at that gecko!"

You know, the stats on these things are in eerily strong resemblance to a certain other uberdrone I seem to recall.......

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

You are correct, the drone is not getting weaker, the skill applying to the drone is, thus causing the drones performance under a pilot with that skill to drop.

Don't be surprised when your dps drops 25%...

If your definition of a nerf excludes the buff of all comparable items but the item in question, sure, it wasn't nerfed. Though I think you will find that others believe that definition to be reasonable.

Especially when that buff is intended to counteract an actual nerf, such as the one coming to the drone interfacing skill.

1. See revised title.
2. Gecko dps will drop 6.3-25% on June 3.

if you want to change the definition of nerf, feel free.
however that also doesn't change the fact that the gecko isn't getting nerfed.
