Which is why I think there's even more reason for there to be a certification that sits above the CCIE. Instead of having all these multiple CCIE's, just enact one super-cert. I envision a lab where you might be expected to demonstrate competence in absolutely anything and everything that Cisco sells - IOS, Callmanager, ATM switches, optical, CIP cards - if Cisco sells it, it's fair game. What would be even better is if Cisco allowed a cert that was multi-vendor. Or a true security cert that tested all the common security technologies (including Checkpoint, Snort, etc.) instead of just Cisco gear - let's face it, Cisco is not a dominant vendor in security gear. For example, a true service-provider cert that tested both Cisco and Juniper.
