Of which there are major overlap, redundancy and other issues I have
extensively pointed out.

How many times will the exact same authentication, directory and naming
concepts be redundantly covered in the Samba, NFS, LDAP and Apache
exams?  What about using services from one capability in another, just
for authentication, directory or naming?

And I think the focus is going to be a mess.

Umm, no, but nice try.
We're talking objectives and exam focus, not format.

LPI can't develop a hands-on exam in the next year.
But LPI could choose the objective and exam focus as I suggested.

We're just starting to write objectives now.
And for a computer-based format.

Not a difference in how the testing happens, just the objective focus.
