Maybe Cisco discovered there is more to networks then just switching and routing:) Other people may not recognize the certs by name, but they are a great guide to get a diversified skillset. Maybe someone needs to specialize, and learn that for there job, for instance content switching. I have chosen to do the specializations with my CCNP. I use certifications as a guide for my career learning, not really contest, or trying to prove something. And, believe it or not, I am one of those people who would like to have a wide array of skills and CCNP, then just CCIE. I will say that I am planning on going CCIE, but Security instead of R&S.

Are they gearing up for a CCIE Voice track I wonder with all this VoIP stuff coming down the pipe and these new jr.cert tracks? Now there's a world of politics onto itself in the enterprise arena.
