Yeap, I agree with you. I also checked the cisco website and the last update
on it is as follows:
14 Oct 2008: CCIE Security lab exam to be refreshed in April, '09
So I am not sure why haven't they updated this on the website.
Regards,
Niks.

> Effective February 1, 2009, Cisco will introduce a new type of question

> open-ended questions, drawn from a pool of questions based on the material
> covered on the lab blueprint. No new topics are being added. The exams are
> not been increased in difficulty and the well-prepared candidate should
