New CCIE Security Lab Exam Blueprint v3.0

http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/security/lab_exam_blueprint_v3.html

Newer OSes mean more features to look at such as Zone Base Firewall, GET VPN. Though, I don't know how they are going to sneak in GET VPN into the lab? Normally, people associate GET VPN with MPLS, does that mean Cisco will replace the Frame-Relay backbone with MPLS??? I seriously doubt it, it just means that Cisco will put GET VPN over the Frame-Relay.
For a comparison of Cisco VPN solution: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6635/ps7180/prod_brochure0900aecd80582078.pdf

Cisco doesn't seem to have a place for all the security exploits they have on the exam, at least I am not aware of one. I usually have the Juniper Netscreen documentation for Attacks Detection and Defense Mechanisms page handy for reference.
