Re: the CCIE Design going away, that's not what my Cisco contacts say.
My Cisco contacts include all the Cisco employees that comprise the weekly
CCIE Design study group that I attend, (they invited me, a non-Cisco
employee to join their study group!) Also includes the managers that fund
the study group; facility, lunches, courses, speakers, and a fully equipped
Design lab.
They do tell us that the CCIE Design certification is to some extent a work
in progress but they remind us that they all were in the beginning and they
all constantly undergo revision.
Also, I work with a person that is pursuing his CCIE security specialization
and he has stated that he has done some client configuration for the lab. I
did not probe for how much or what exactly being busy with the pursuit of
CCIE R/S and Design and the job.
