The certification likely will be flavour specific.

The roadmap says that the upcoming development will include deciding on 
which BSD(s) and versions(s) the examination will cover. If you are 
interested with assisting with this, please volunteer for the 
"Certification Definition Subgroup".

This decision will be made by early October (also according to schedule
defined in roadmap).

Having flavour specific certs will cost more in time and money, but I 
don't see how we can have a cert that has value that tries to cover all 
the *BSDs. (I mentioned several reasons on this list several months ago.)
