I agree. The question is relevant. Perhaps Alan misread it to be asking about exam content. Regardless, my own personal feeling is that libata content would be a little too nitpicky for the LPIC-1/2 exams. Especially, since these new objectives have de-emphasized hardware issues to a large extent. However, if someone can make a case for why it isn't nitpicky and where we could fit it nicely into the new objectives, I'll add it. My plan for maintaining the objectives over the next 2.5 years until we do an official update is to maintain clarifications and corrections on the wiki and then, every quarter, I will add an addendum to the official objectives with the clarifications. This isn't mean to add new content to the exams. Just to provide more clarification on what is on the exams (and what isn't). > Also, there's no need for you to take such a sarcastic and condescending > tone with me.
