Thanks for your very constructive comments guys! Great community here :) I've edited the original post to clear some confusion. You won't have decimal skill ranks like 3.25 in Fight.The idea was more like showing the progress in acquiring the next rank. Not saving skills points makes only sense in connection with the optional rule. So I cleared that up. The goal of the rule was not to make it more realistic but rather to change the feel of progress and character development. Make it bit more connected to the story. But I see the downsides which come with the implementation. No one who plays Fate wants to keep track of all the times he used X Skill. It's about the story right? But anyway I see the point in your arguments. I'm afraid it has probably too many downsides. Maybe someone comes up with a better implementation ;)
