Red Hat Certification Changes

Red Hat announced today that it is making some changes to it's certifications. They will be expanding the number of Red Hat Certificates of Expertise that can be applied to the RHCA. Since I'm on the path to my own RHCA (hope to have it by end of 2014), I'm very interested in these changes. I pretty much have the exam 436 (which I passed last month), the exam 318, and exam 401 scheduled for RHCDS. But now I will have more choices, and so will everyone else, when it comes to RHCA path.

I'm wondering if this will lessen the appeal of RHCA and make it less difficult to acheive?

I passed Red Hat's Exam 436 today, Certificate of Expertise in Clustering and Storage Management.  Now on to my RHCDS and hope to pass the Satellite exam next. I really enjoy taking Red Hat exams as they are a great challenge since they are all hands on and you have to configure everything. I highly recommend any one interested in learning more about Linux and any of Red Hat products to take their training classes and/or take their exams.
