This is quite ridiculous ! All other tracks (RS/SP) have gone through massive changes but they were retained. Even Security CCIE track has recently gone through 50% more overlap (ISE/WSA/ACS/WLC/AP & what not is new) but they didn't rename it & retire old one. If you look at CCIE Collaboration equipment list & topics, you won't find any significant different other than TP/Jabber/InterCluster stuff which is like 15%-20% new stuff. It's so pathetic on cisco's part that they didn't value the years hardwork & effort of engineers to attain Voice CCIE. I know guys who sat lab like 7 times, some even 10 times to pass. & when they have finally passed this extremely tough lab, you are throwing their CCIE number in gutter by retiring a CCIE certification. Will people go for CCIE Voice lab now ? Probably NOT & i bet this will be only track for which there won't be rush to complete certification.
it's an extremely disappointing thing what Cisco has done. Cisco should protect investment made by tens of hundreds of engineers for years rather than giving them a retired track. For a guy who passed lab on 7th attempt recently & is a Voice CCIE , will Cisco give him free vouchers 7 times to sit Collaboration CCIE now ? Morally , they should. Practically, they won't. It doesn't make sense to me . Does it make sense to anyone among you ? If so, please explain how.
