Stumbled upon this announcement today.
LPI is updating exam objectives for LPIC-1 and is offering the opportunity to sign up to take beta versions of the new exams for free until June 30, 2018. Registration is not available everywhere: for example, in North America, it's open in Keller, Texas (Dallas/Ft. Worth metro area), and registration is upcoming in Los Angeles and somewhere TBD in Ohio and Tennessee.
I don't remember if you can get LPIC-1 and then turn around and get Linux+...but don't look a gift horse in the mouth!
