Its all good. I could careless if its 100% pass rate. I have said it before,
CCIE# is JUST that a number and helps you get an interview. What you do at
the interview determines whether you get the job or not :)
If someone is scared about CCIE#s increasing, that tells us more about THEM
rather than the ccies that they are talking about. If you know you are good,
there is NOTHING to worry about.
