I don't know how it would be done but I think there's some value in
creating the expectation that the devops *by itself* doesn't really mean
that much. Where you see the playoff is if someone has *both* devops and
LPIC-1 or -2. They can still be an idiot but the idea is that they aren't
just someone who learned a bit of ansible but has no idea how to leverage
it and they aren't someone who might be competent managing a handful of
systems with console access but will be utterly incapable of scaling that
work to hundreds or thousands of servers.

BTW I'm LPIC-2 (by the skin of my teeth) but a developer who's been very
much 'devops' for the last year. It's been frustrating since the ops team
knows I know what I'm doing - they're actually waiting for *me* to show
them how to do things like write ansible scripts! - but they repeatedly
lose track of the fact that I'm representing a group of developers who need
to be able to create a staggering number of server configurations to match
the bug reports coming from the customers and a lot of the things that are
best practices in production are the opposite of what we need. E.g., for
them being able to quickly roll over stateless instances is great... but
developers and testers need stateful systems as we investigate problems and
it's a huge waste of time if we have to rebuild the test data daily.
