RE: OT - After SDN, does CCIE still make senese ?

Monsef thanks for replying, i really understand that Cisco program manager
must have thought of something but let me take a flashback and try to explain
where i am coming from, not too far back Microsoft dumped dos, with windows
95. With windows 95 the GUI eliminated the need of commands that were used
for operation as simple as copying a file. The companies are there for one
sole purpose that is to make money, so they will dump anything in return of
more profits.
To best of my understanding humans tend to follow the ease over hardship, and
follow hardship in sight of return. As for networks, CCIEs are there to handle
control plane and with SDN that control plane is being shifted ( that is
unclear to me where at the moment) to something alike GUI or scripts or maybe
both.
I as a network engineer must understand the fundamental but will it makes
sense to understand them to this scary amount of depth that CCIE goes into and
also any one who i think is preparing for the lab exam will have solid
foundation of the protocol but when proving it in the lab does that make sense
and worth going for with SDN in perspective. CCIE is a number that is a proof
of your understanding but will that proof be worthy and required in the first
place ?
i hope i made sense of my confusion :)
