Hi Tom,
My Company announced certification long back http://web.archive.org/web/20070110192614/http://www.drupaldesigns.com/. We were informed to take down that post and were given reasons that only Drupal Association can offer that and we accepted that since it was an independent body and made sense.
Then came Acquia and everything changed!
To other anonymous users ( I hope its okay Tom to share some facts here) :
Kieran's post http://drupal.org/node/306784 states that we should not to post in Services forum and we are not doing it now. Roshan also had discussed this in team meeting. Don't know about the future on that too as how it will turn out( just like we took down the certification post on drupal designs and Acquia announced to offer it :-) ).
So yes Roshan's comment on double standards has merit and we all believe that soon things will have to change for the momentum to continue.
Coming out with Certifications is a huge effort and we are working hard to come out with quality certification curriculum.
