The test has been in a state of change since its inception. In the days of
yesteryear....
Candidates received all the material from the get go. You could go home and
research topics on the test and come back then next day and complete.
Candidates could bring in laptops with them to use for configuration with
any digital material they desired.
You could haul in any paper configs, books, or notes to take the exam.
How about the CCIE's who took their exam during the early 90's on 5-6 AGS
routers with 10.0 code? Voice over X, IPSec, and other crazy features?
The exam is in just another state of flux. Anybody that tells me it is worth
less know than it was a few years back is high. There are more features,
more material to cover, and more hardware.
One day, two day, who cares. It is your skill and knowledge that will carry
you. I will consider the cert proof of my ability to learn and comprehend
new technologies.

Caslow and Remaker have both given their opinions about it. Caslow admitted
that there will be less topics (problem #1). TS is gone and even if they
change IP address or cables big deal (problem #2). People will now be able
to see the entire test without earning each section (problem #3). There
won't be a face-to-face debrief for people to potentially argue some points
(problem #4).
You can argue that what I'm saying isn't true. At one point people argued
the world was flat too. Everything I just said is fact except for Caslow's
opinion. I think that his opinion on this subject should be weighed very
strongly though.
