I've not heard of this before, but I know a lot of people that do it with the Skill Focus feat - the PC gains the bonus and the skill is a permanent class skill for the PC.

You know, you could get the same effect by removing the cost but keeping the cap, right?
So, at all levels all skill ranks only cost 1 skill point. However, cross-class skills are capped at half level (or half level +1), while class skills are limited to level +2 (or +3, or even just level - as Pathfinder does it).
So putting a few points in a skill is easy no matter the class, but really pushing up the skill ranks in a skill requires it be a class skill.
This is yet another possible way of deal with cross-class skills.
