This was a big concern for me when working with Zend on their certification. Especially in the open source communities, certifications are not considered to be very valuable, and MCSE is the top reason for this. Of course, we tried very hard to make this one have a fair amount of value but not just be difficult for the sake of being difficult. I think we did a pretty good job, but only time will tell. Regardless of whether we did a good job with it, the perception of certifications that comes from seeing clueless MCSEs everywhere is definitely an obstacle within the community. Outside of the community (where the PHBs reign), this certification is definitely a good thing for all of us.
