So you mean?: an enterprise level sysadmin be very good (better then
advanced) *and* have some specialized skills. The practice on level 1,
two general and one specialized exam, can be repeated here in some
form.
If you do, I agree. Level four could then mean deepening the
specialized skills and/or extending into more fields. At Snow it is
our opinion that a senior sysadmin distinguishes herself by being able
to acquire more specialties easely.
This would require a kind of "get a new specialty in a day" test, or a
set of questions about fictious man page.
