Well,  I wasn't going to go too far in my opinion, but yes, that is my view
too, _if_ we are going to cover virtualization sub-LPIC-3.

oVirt/RHEV is just too stack-specific, even if oVirt was supposed to be the
generic management/user interface framework for more than just KVM.

OpenStack would require its own series of exams.  But yes, it's looking
more and more like it's the solution everyone is getting behind (except
only one, proprietary company).

OpenStack as a Hypervisor does get rather interesting.

But as a rule, Upstream buy-in matters.

The bigger question is ...

We can have specialty exams on Virtualization, Storage and Identity ... but
how do we bring them together?

If you think LPI is the only organization wrestling with this, think again.
 ;)

I do not see a forth level either but multiple specialty levels. Yet, since

LPI has to be careful to avoid making it Hypervisor-centric, even if there
is only one, totally open source stack out there, and it is built around
KVM.
