Why would Cisco care how many people attempt the lab or the backlog? Cisco
is cleaning up with the lab costs. I think if YOU feel you are ready to
take the lab then go for it. What possible prerequisites should be
imposed? You must pass a PRE-lab? Another written? Get your CCNP and
CCDP before attempting? Those are ridiculous. If ANYTHING Cisco should
just create another lab facility (or two, three, four) to accommodate the
ADDITIONAL interest in the CCIE program.
