I'm not sure I agree with this premise.
you can have SAs that remember all the details of a particular system
you can also have SAs that know how to find the details they need (from
google, the man pages, etc)
I agree with David here.
The other thing is, since the internet has become what it is (all manuals
online, people sharing problems and solutions, good search engines, etc...),
sysadmins have been able to do a lot more, both horizontally (same admin can
adapt from AIX to Solaris to Linux very quickly) and vertically (sysadmins who
weren't doing apps before can now do basic debugging / configuration / tuning
for app engines). Before google, most of us knew one or two OSes really, we
would work with one or two more, but then would be afraid to touch the others.
We'd typically new one apps, and not that well.
