I think when Sun change the passing grade they also adjust the level of difficulty on the exam.

Hi Tony,
I will not worry about the cert difficulty level in the near future because as the outsourcing rate going and the popular computer language of choice among universities. Cert will become redundancy.
My 2 Cents,

Certifications are meaningless, at least as far as finding employment. Employers only care about years of experience with particular APIs/web servers/databases.
