Obiviuosly you guys have never actually taken the lab exam. I see nothing wrong with Cisco promoting thier product and encouraging people to pursue the CCIE. Only 3% of Cisco Certified peolple actually obtain the CCIE level. It took me three years to get my number and I never saw a braindump on the Internet for the lab exam. It still takes extreme dedication, time and lots of $$$ to get the CCIE. Anyone who gets thier number deserves it, the sky is not falling.

This is such bullshit, if Cisco isn't careful the CCIE will become like the
MCSE (Must Call Someone Else) CCIE (Cisco Certifies Idiots Everyday). The
CCIE should not be seen as a revenue generating part of Cisco. But
hopefully Cisco stops the insanity or there will be nothing sacred and holy
left.
