I see it from this POV: what does the World gain with more bureaucracy
in it? If I need to contract someone to work on GIMP or another
Image Manipulation program, I will sit him in front of a computer and
watch him draw.
Besides that, certifications are sometimes sought for those without
the abilities or application to stand by themselves, either in their
C.V. or personally.
I dislike the idea of a GIMP certification - and please note that I
could make a lot of money out of it, as I certainly would be entitled
to teach courses for, and concede such certifications in my country.
