I think we're starting to overload the numbering too much. Right now, the 
topic includes
Certification level - LPIC-1 2 or 3
Topic number (almost unique across a given exam level but not quite)
Objective within topic

So 1xx refers to LPIC-1, 2xx refers to LPIC-2 and 3xx refers to LPIC-3.

In the current published objectives (not the proposed ones),
Topics 101, 102, 103, 104 and 110 are for Exam 1 of LPIC-1 and
Topics 105, 106, 108, 109, 111, 112, 113 and 114 are for exam 2 of LPIC-1.
For LPIC-2 there are two topic 214's, one on troubleshooting for Exam 1 
and one on network troubleshooting for exam 2.

Apart from the duplication  of topic 214, it hasn't been too hard to map 
topics to exams. One other possibility for topic numbering would be to 
pick a new topic number for new objectives or significantly changed 
objectives. So, instead of reusing topic 110 for Security where is used ot 
be for X, maybe consider assigning a topic number from the set of unused 
topic numbers (say topic 115). For the current exercise, which involves a 
substantial reswizzle of objectives, maybe just use topic 121, 122, 123, 
etc. instead of reusing any existing topic numbers.

I still think the exam version needs to be exposed in the description, but 
I htink adding it explicitly into the topic numbering might be going too 
far.
