Re: Cisco Announced change to R&S

FYI:

Here's where this scoop started on April 23rd:

http://www.sadikhov.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=166881&st=0

The part that is being left out of this thread is the concept that in this
change to the lab - the CCIE Grey Market Vendors are supposed to be targeted
for obsoleteness and doen so by the tricks/traps that are to be introduced
by the Cisco 360 Program.

Ultimately/Theoretically the Cisco 360 Program would somehow become required
in order for candidates to have a reasonable chance at passing the new CCIE
RS Lab.

That is the other shoe.

And remember:

The OEQ, the Frame-Realy, and everything else stays...

You just don't get as many points for them now (Reference my all or nothing
point spread above).

Techically the 1-4 point or whatever will be spread about - but:

Imagine that you have to configure all Frame for a whopping 1 point.

Imagaine all vlans + trunking + etherchannel for a whopping 3 points.

Imagine all OSPF "normal" tasks for say 1-2 points per grouping.

That kind of "all or nothing"... same as today with a few more tasks per
group and a few less points. Think Consolidation and "virtual points".
