Go CCIE Go!! - A Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert

If you look at the interview I did with Russ White about the CCDE, some of these questions are answered:

In short, the idea for the CCDE was originally driven by folks inside Cisco who work primarily on design, at very advanced levels. There’s no mention of specialization tracks.
In short, I don’t think they’ve yet worked out exactly how the design track will evolve, so it’s probably useless to speculate.

So are they planning to do something like CCDE-RS, CCDE-SP, CCDE-Voice, CCDE-Security in the future ? I’m wondering how they will measure the score for Design. It may come from different business model, and even with same business model, it can be very different from organization to organization based on a lot of resource availabilities - budget, engineering resource, human resource, and political background, etc… -.
