That's sure much more used than XDM, and a better choice for asking something about Display Manager used now. But adding it would means adding a new argument, and so it will need a more detailed revision. That would be a problem, and still I'm seeing a lot of new programs coming in this area (last Ubuntu and Mint release seems to use some other Display Manager...). Removing XDM is just enough for me, I cannot see it as an useful argument to test competence for a junior sysadmin today, and teaching an old and almost unused (except for corner cases) technology is wasted time in this contest. I think is better to spend more time going deeper on the other display manager.
