That's a very interesting commentary there Darby...
As I recall about the 1-day CCIE lab, it was offered to people who already
had their CCIE. So it wasn't scoring in the same aspect. It was more for
garnering opinions than looking to actually certify anyone!
As you noted, design best practices change time and time again, which is why
this exam is more about thought process than any particular best practice
set.
I would be interested in your opinion who WOULD meet those requirements
and/or where the opinion(s) came from there!

Subject: Re: CCDE - Results are in
Anyone remember how many illustrious luminaries passed the first demo rounds
of the present 1-Day CCIE Lab the first time around when offered by Cisco?
Design Best Practices are like seasons in the wind sometimes. What was
great a few years ago is discarded for newer technologies. Things change.
How deep does the CCDE go?
Hmmm...
Sounds like my day to day job task list all the way down to the change
control requirements, impact, backout plan, an restoration planning (it
didn't explicitly mention testing plans).
Justification? Wow! That can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
Based on what I read, I do not doubt that every CCIE ought to be able to
handle the technical specifications of this exam.
However, based on what I read I think there are a lot of choices for any
given design that can influecenced by circumstances, budget, operational
requirements, etc.
Overall, I'd say I've not necessarily seen all of the skills to fulfill
these requirements met by every CCIE on this forum, despite holding 1 or
more CCIEs and despite being an active CCIE instructor.
So it might be very interesting to see who makes the cut.
Configuring a device is one thing, finesse is quite another. In both cases
they may or may not work properly as "designed".
I recall the CCDA and CCDP being two very intricate exams, relatively
speaking.
I imagine this one is going to be quite interesting too.
