I think it's good to be comprehensive and by the nature of revision cycles, there will always be newer things that aren't in the current exam, and recently deprecated things that will be. It would be great to try to keep to a minimum, I agree with that.
Bryan - I met some folks at SeaGL a couple of weeks ago who knew you. I can't remember what booth they were at unfortunately, but when I mentioned LPI, they automatically asked about you!! Hope you are well! I cover in my classes, differences between Debian and Ubuntu. While they may appear to be similar, differences with python and pip/pipx are very different, and sometimes the Debian way, may be considered more stable, for example in requiring a venv and pipx to avoid python newbies from hosing the ubuntu os python version, etc. But in general, I like Ubuntu's frequent updating. Where I have been burnt badly are not so much Debian, but distros like elementary and mint, that simply break on more hardware than Ubuntu LTS releases. This is just my experience, and my opinion of course. Feel free to form your own.
