Is there really that much difference if the lab scenario specifies
version 2, but without disabling auto-summary? I don't have a
problem with a CCIE knowing how to fix discontiguous networks, nor
work with V2 both in classless and classful modes. Of course, Cisco
really cares about my opinion...

If one goes that way, I'd rather see Service Provider deal with some
serious BGP and MPLS following Best Current Practices. It mystifies
me what market the SP CCIE really addresses, since there are minimal
or no SP-market resellers.
