To your credit, SuSE _did_ release a 103 exam for the short-lived, and
clearly "rushed to market" after Novell's acquisition (probably to
appease those independent trainers who licensed its materials and ran
the courses), SCLP.  Novell replaced the SLCP with the NCLP practicum
exam and its own course materials.  Anyone who pass the SCLP during its
brief 3-4 months of availability was subsequently awarded the NCLP.

Had the program been given time to mature, it would have been an ideal
example.  Then again, wasn't Ubuntu doing the same for its track?  Or
was that someone else?
