I have a little wrinkle to point out. More and more locations have opened
up weekend test dates inorder to accomodate the backlog of people waiting
to take the exam. Hence, we can conclude more individuals are able to take
and pass the exam each month.

Let me lay out two very clear facts, here:
1) The pass rate is higher, and
2) The test is easier.

Yup. And back when these resources weren't around, the CCIE wasn't as
hard as it was in late '99 because of fewer IOS features to exploit for
"landmines" and such.
> The CCIE numbers have been growing at about a thousand a year
I think it's amazing that since 1993, the CCIE has grown from 1024 to
6890 or so. Coming up on 6,000 numbers given out in only 8 years. I just
want that trend to continue.
