If Sun decided to give free vouchers based on your complaint, then the vouchers should only go to those who failed within the original time frame.
But I do not think Sun should do that. I also do not think they should have extended the beta, but they probably had to make that tough choice.
Probably a large group of those who failed could find some reason they failed that they could complain about. That's probably the main reason the beta is free, so those that fall in the gray area didn't suffer monetary setbacks.
The system isn't perfect, but it also costs Sun lots of money to give these exams. Maybe this will affect your opinion on if certification is worth it, but
you should first look at it from another perspective.
Sun is also trying to make an exam that tests real world knowledge and experience. The certification is worthless if it is crammed for and the wrong people pass for that reason (if you do buy this line of reasoning, I guess that would make college degrees worthless lol).
