The whole idea of outdating RHCE's at this time is stupid. There is not significant differences between most RH versions since 6.0 to warrant it. Yes, I realize iptables came along, new kernels, and the abandonment of inetd but is that a reason for EOFing RHCE's? Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think so. The bulk of Linux in general is the same. It's not nearly the difference between Netware 3.12 and 4.11 or NT and 2000. And for the price paid, If I had my RHCE for say 7.3, I'd consider myself certified to any employer until after RH9.
