There's two sides to marketing: Selling a product once it exists, and 
helping craft a product that you *can* sell. What the OP was advocating was 
the latter. It would certainly behoove the Certification Group to do the 
research on A) who will be seeking to get the certification, B) why they 
want the certification, and C) how to best help A get the most of B out of 
the certification process.

For me, I've been a FreeBSD admin professionally for about five years, but 
in a fairly small market for small companies. I'd want the certification so 
that, if I look to expand my horizons, I'd have something on my resume that 
would be outside validation that I can do the things I *say* I can do.
