I think that Sun is going to shoot itself in the foot with this one. It seems to be a revenue generator for Sun Education Services...
Once I have my
SCJP I want to move on to different things. I don't have to redo my Maths Degree just because somebody solved Fermat's Last Theorem.
Just imagine going for certification D when your certification A, B, C suddenly expire. Then you are told you can't go for D because your A,B,C's are not up to date. So you got to shell out time and money for your A,B,C upgrades, in the meantime certification D changes objectives...
Looks more like M$ software upgrade policy to me.
