I can't help to agree with most of the points you have made. Although I have not even looked at the RHCE cert I have been looking at various others. My problem is that I find that most certifications gear toward people that are great at memorization, and not as much of a practical approach to the product. I personally have difficulty with multiple guess and usually have great success on skill based exams.

I have taken courses and learned actually administration of Routers, switches, firewalls, servers, and various hardware products. Which I found extremely useful for day to day use in business. The GIAC or Sans exams used a good method for examination and it is sad to hear they are going to same crap certs as MS, and others.
