Bore aff!
If you really believe that this will devalue the cert then please go and do something
Less boring instead.
All it will do is make loads of people attempt the written and fail it miserably.
Remember the email was sent to CCNPs who already know about the CCIE.
Also don't start on the devalue train! I have been a member on this list
For 3 years now and this sort of rubbish is discussed every 6 months.
