Hi Harald,

I don't see a response to your question so I'll answer it.

Originally, LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 were created without additional names to help
keep them recognizable internationally and in as many languages as possible.

Then, some well intentioned people convinced others to add those titles
that you mention.  This caused a lot of confusion (and acrimony) since the
certs are useful and targeted to more job roles than just admins and
"engineers" (whatever those are ;)).

So, the names were dropped.  They popped up from time to time after their
removal because it's difficult to remove things from years of built up
marketing and other materials... sometimes people dust off old content and
overlook dated information.

Currently, there are no job titles attached to the certifications and their
full names are "Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1" (and ...-2). If anyone
did come up with a reasonable and inclusive name for the certs, I'm sure it
would be considered seriously.  However, people (including me) have been
trying for a couple of decades without any success.

Take care,
Matt
