There is more to it:
- This looks like things are to be included because a few persons think it
is a good idea. This is not how we are supposed to build our
program: things are included because a broad census of active sysadmins
rated certain tasks as relevant to perform a certain job.
So is all this based on actual scored tasks from a survey? Or at least
on a consensus on tasks from people on this mailing list?
- Some of this seems somewhat advanced. Please double-check with the
Level 2 objectives, and do not include stuff that is covered at the higher
level, because then it apparently is inappropriate for Level 1.
