Once i hear from a cisco guy that they will force all CCIEs to take their
respective tracks once every 3 years. That means taking the lab for any
track once every 3 years. So if you are dual or triple CCIE you'll take R$S
or security and one passing renews the other like passing the written renews
your IE. You will have to pass the lab for any track every 3 years.
However, that was 2 years ago, so I dont know how will i feel taking a lab
every 3 years.
Will be fun, but probably wont do it!
