CCIE does make sense- and they have improved it over the years. I don't like all the fragmentation now- but it's kind of necessary. There are a growning number of very specialized certifications that require very narrow study and focus. A lot of focus. Customers are asking for them. When my company bids on projects, we frequently get asked to provide lists of certifications. That's just the way it is now.
