Jay,
Caslow is not referring to the lower level tasks. Read what he said again.
He specifically says in the 2-day lab there are 9 hours of configuration
tasks. Now he says there is 7.5. He already acknowledged one hour for
basic tasks. See the link below. So, we are in fact now missing 1.5 hours
of configuration and about 3.5 hours of TS.

How are they going to integrate TS? How are they going to test password
recovery? How are they going to test DLCI's being changed? They aren't.
That is just more crap from Cisco to get us all to believe the test is
basically the same without cabling and IP addressing. Caslow specifically
says what will be done ahead of time (i.e. cabling, IP address, etc.). So,
it doesn't look like they are going to change config-registers, DLCI's,
SPID's, passwords, cables, IP address, etc. If they did do those things
then there would be an element of TS. I think that would be a step in the
right direction.
Do you really feel that TS isn't important? I know a lot of people on this
list have said it was very difficult. I know I thought it was very easy,
but I also have extensive REAL WORLD experience not 2 years in a home lab.
That is another reason I think we will have more lab rats. Once the 6 or 8
tests in the pool become readily available on some site like
www.cciebraindump.com it's going to be all over.
I just want to see the integrity of the program remain. I'm not saying that
it won't. But, I cannot ignore that these changes don't bode well.
