The Linux Foundation announces
2014 was a big year for us in training. We launched a new ground-breaking certification program and released our wildly successful "Introduction to Linux" edX MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), which had roughly 300,000 enrollees.
To build on that, we're excited to announce our first-ever self-paced course that builds on the MOOC and prepares candidates for the LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified SysAdmin) exam: "Essentials of System Administration."
[...]we've included a discounted LFCS exam with the course fee. [...] for a limited time, we're offering this course and certification bundle for $499--an additional $100 discount.

First they will offer a certification for a low price. Then HR department will require said certification. Then it will be obvious that certification doesn't flag for talent so they add more certification which makes for a good mess.
Yep. The "street value" of one of these certificates is definitely less than it might've been a few years ago.
If you're a pure-play system administrator, maybe it's different, but the appearance of things like Amazon EC2, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, DevOps, and the rest have, in many cases, weakened the need for a qualified/certified/intelligent system admin, replacing it with, well, a bunch of n00bs.
I'm not in the business... I *am* the business.

Perhaps we have target(s) in seeking of an exploit ..? ;-)
