Bryan,

I hear you and on the face of it, what you say does indeed make sense. I see 
two problems implementing it:

1. Where is line that says something is now deprecated and is subject to 
correct identification only? We could use your 3 sigma method (a good method 
for use in the real world), but all that really seems to accomplish is 
avoiding the question "Should this be in the Objectives?" to the different 
question "Is this deprecated?"

2. From my point of view, the correct approach for an LPIC-1 when confronted 
with something unusual is "Google it". LILO is sufficiently rarely 
encountered in real life that we can demand graduates can actually do this 
successfully.
