In the early days there wasn't a specialization, it was just CCIE. These
people may not be counted towards a specialty. There are also the inactive
tracks of ISP-Dial, "Blue", etc. not enumerated.
The actual CCIE numbers being issued are higher because they started at
1024 (or 1025?), and some CCIEs have failed to recertify, died, etc.
Multiple-CCIE holders only get one number which skews it the other way.
