Peter,
The issue isn't a one day / two day issue. I'm sure the one day lab with be
tough and at first we will see a lot of people failing it. Cisco has to do
this to ensure that it looks like a good decision but wait for a few months
after a ton of people take it. The beta one day lab was really hard and
failed many people. Bruce Caslow scored a 27/100 and Phil Remaker scored
35/100. Some people declined to take it because they knew that they would be
setup to fail ;) But that isn't what Cisco is trying to do. Cisco is using
the long waiting list as an excuse to move to a one day remote lab. If Cisco
really wanted to shorten the waiting list they would fix the written but
that wouldn't give them an excuse to go to a one day remote lab.
People should not be fooled into thinking this a one day / two day issue or
a long waiting list issue. This is just a start of the changes to come for
the CCIE lab.

Are you missing the point that the lab with still be very tough? The only
issue is meeting the customer demand for rack time for testing. Cisco
cannot do this in a two day format and much of the two day stuff was
overhead. I personally think one day will be tougher.
