I appreciate your reply,
As I had expected the post to be taken with this same attitude only.
Accepting the facts and being open to changes, as its not in anybodys
control.
Kudos.
If Cisco feels there is a need for extra specialized track than CCIE, which
can create a pool or
extra special SME's then there is no harm, its all in the intrest of the
larger community, that is Cisco's
customers.
As is CCIE would be obviously more valuable than CCNP anyday. But a Track
above it by no means
can be undermined.
Cheers,
Swaroop.
