Red Hat is moving Ansible into 200/300 RHCSA/RHCE level, away from its current 300 training-only and 400 level training+exam. Red Hat is pushing more automation/orchestration into the lower levels, in the age of stateless servers with no persistent storage such as in Containers and DevOps, and even RHV (formerly RHEV) is offering more of the same, no persistent storage modes. So ... there is a counter-argument that maybe we should de-emphasize visual text editing, and focus more on regular expressions, automation and orchestration tooling. So if we want to break from tradition, then it goes well beyond Vi or text filters. That would be a viable argument to make and viewpoint to take, and I'm more than open to exploring a full revision of the objectives if that's the direction people want to take with LPIC-1 and, subsequently, LPIC-2 going forward. A much larger discussion is needed, but it may be time as the objectives and exams were just revised. As always, my views are my own only, made as an individual peer. - bjs
