It would appear that the changes to the Lab have been clarified and updated, and it looks like the removal of the indicated topics won't actually happen until Nov 4th now:
Lab Exam Content and Equipment Changes CCIE Candidates should note the following changes to the technical content and equipment for the CCIE Lab exam. The content changes affect the CCIE Routing and Switching Lab exam, while the equipment changes affect all CCIE certification tracks. The CCIE program continually monitors the topics and technologies covered in the CCIE certification tracks. The end result of this process is that a topic may be removed from the exam to allow greater emphasis on features or technologies that are more current in the industry. Therefore, effective November 4th, 2002, the following topics will no longer be tested on the CCIE Routing and Switching exam: IGRP Token Ring Token Ring Switching IPX Please note that DLSw+ will remain as a valid topic on the exam. Between September 1, 2002 and November 4th, 2002 all CCIE labs will replace the current Catalyst 5000 switches with Catalyst 3550 switches. However, the only switching features tested during this time will be those common to both devices - additional features on the Catalyst 3550 will only be tested after November 4th, 2002. Please note that except for the change in switches, no new topics are being added to the content covered by the Routing and Switching exam. However, many features currently tested will now be able to receive more weight on the exam after November 4th.
