LILO is on the exam not because we think it is such a great piece of software but because of inertia. It had its day. If we satisfy ourselves that nobody important is still running very old versions of RHEL and SLES that use LILO we can remove it from the exam and chances are nobody will even notice. Note that LILO is gone from LPIC-1 already (and good riddance). IIRC we decided to keep it in LPIC-2 for another iteration or so and then get rid of it there, too (in LPIC-2 4.5). We'll be unlikely to get a lot of complaints.
