There are three issues worth commenting on here:
– Running VirtualBox to make yourself some spare computers when you're
studying for LPIC exams isn't exactly rocket science. Doing
professional-grade server virtualisation based on something like KVM
is another story, but that's what the LPI-304 exam is for.
– This revision of LPIC-2 is essentially finished. Any fundamental
changes such as these will have to be discussed with a view to
including them in the future, which according to the regular LPI
review schedule means »five years from now«. (How much the »regular
LPI review schedule« is worth in practice, given the fact that we are
about to make various gratuitous and unscheduled changes to
LPIC-2 very shortly after the last such review, essentially just
because we feel like it, is another question entirely.)
– There was some movement afoot regarding opening the LPI-304 exam
to people who hadn't taken all the other exams before. I don't know
whether that is now off the table given that you no longer need to
become an LPI-certified LDAP guru (among other things) before being
allowed to become an LPI-certified virtualisation guru when all you
wanted in the first place is to become an LPI-certified junior
virtualisation technician, but there you go. It would be good to
have the official word as to what became of the idea.

What would you take out instead in order to make room?
