Subject: new lab blueprints

Has anyone found the new lab blueprints?

I went to the section mentioned, but only found the blueprint for written
exam
and the usual old content below:

Lab Exam Content
The Routing and Switching lab exam tests any feature that can be configured
on
the equipment and the IOS version shown above.

The protocols below have been removed from the lab exam content but may
remain
on the Routing and Switching written exam. (For a list of topics appearing
on
the written exam please review the Written Exam Blueprint.)

has anyone read the new blueprints? thanks!
