Re: Cisco Announced change to R&S

Any CCIE who's been around for a long time and has moved out of
implementation into Design and/or management.... Many of the Cisco
employees (immediate group, and likely most vocal)...

Would it be good? Yup, but I don't think it will be anything taking
place soon. What I'd see more is moving back to an official
recertification exam, which was significantly harder than the written
qualifiers. Perhaps integrating sims in there much like they have in
the lower certs or CCDE.

It's taken them several years to listen to me about troubleshooting, so
we'll see how long other changes take. :)
