Jon,

I understand what you're saying, but the withdrawing of this test
troubles me even so; as an indication of where the platform is headed.

The RPG cert test has been withdrawn because there was insufficient
demand for it. It was too in-depth and required too much practical
experience to be used by the colleges that teach RPG. All the time
that the test remained reasonably up-to-date and had not been
compromised, by the b*stards who steal tests and sell it as
"education", it could continue. When last year it became obvious that
it needed refreshing IBM had to look at the costs and determine
whether to update it - which is an expensive process even though the
RPGers who participate are not paid. They determined that the costs
were not justified and so rather than offering an out-of-date test
they withdrew it. Simple economics. No evil plots - the only evil
comes from the hijackers who force tests to be rewritten more often
than they should need to be.
