Hey, guys.
Just to get LILO out of the conversation, it has been dropped from the
LPIC-1 objectives as of the July 2nd, 2012 version:
wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-1#Version_Upgrade_Addendum_.28Jul_2st.2C_2012.29
As for rsyslog, I've set up a 'future change considerations' section
on the wiki to track this sort of discussion:
http://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-1#Future_Change_Considerations
Since the objectives have just gone through an update (and
coordinating with authors, publishers, training partners and
courseware developers), we can't do anything about it in the short
term.
So, I've saved it for when we can make another series of updates.
Regards,
--matt
