Would it bother you to have a human fighter take SF: Use Magic and then crank a steady supply of excess skill points into Use Magic?
If I can be a full fighter and then whip out a wand of fireball or scroll of whatever anytime I need it, then I take a lot of shine away from the wizard.
Not saying that is a big problem. Just pointing out that it is a concept thing that could be jarring to stereotype and/or disruptive to players who want to play class concepts that may get overshadowed.
If you are mainly interested in helping multiclass chars out, then just say that you also gain permanent class skill status IF you have 5 ranks. So the rogue/fighter that already has UMD can keep taking fighter levels without falling behind. But if the pure fighter wants to use wands (or hide, or anything else that treads on another class territory) then he has to pay some price along the way.
If I were a Rogue10 then I be annoyed if the Fighter10 could hide just as good as me.
