[BSDcert] Certification expiration thoughts

[Mikel King]

First I would like to suggest that we attack one subject per thread.
I honestly am getting quite confused with the back and forth in a 
disconnected fashion.

Ok that said I was thinking about the cert expirations and here's 
something to consider;

Let's say we have the basic universal BSD certs, and some specialized certs.

These would require a recert at the highest level attained once every 
two years
1. BSD User
2. BSD Jr Admin
3. BSD Sr Admin

Specializations that do expire;
1. Advanced Security Admin
2. Advance DB Admin
3. Advanced <INSERT NAME HERE> Admin

Specialized OS Specific Certification that do not need to expire because 
once the track has been closed there will not be any changes made.
1. FreeBSD 4.x Track
2. FreeBSD 5.x Track
3. NetBSD 2.x Track
4. OpenBSD 3.x Track

Ok so what's everyone's thoughts on this idea? One advantage of breaking 
the certs down into smaller subcerts is that they would be far easier to 
maintain and enhance. Also by doing an OS Specified cert we would only 
need to change that track when a major rev happens thus maintaining the 
base levels.

How do you spell cooperation? Pessimists use
