I agree with Colin.  Great results is what matters and a free market
can sort that out.

In "Why there's no Rails Inc" http://www.loudthinking.com/posts/6-why-theres-no-rails-inc,
David said:
"The growth of the Rails ecosystem has been staggering. There are so
many shops out there offering Rails consulting and training. I believe
part of that proliferation is due to the fact that there's no core-
group monopoly that can dominate the market."  This proposal sounds
like you'd like to substitute 'core-group monopoly' with 'Rails-
certification monopoly'.

In any industry, certification is all about and only about marketing.
Firms go through the hoops and pay big bucks to be a Microsoft Gold
partner (which requires certification) because the Microsoft brand is
so strong - stronger than Coke and GE in many cases.  RMM could be a
good idea for firms that want a framework for continuos improvement,
certainly.  Yet the RMM certification piece seems like Microsoft Gold
without the power of a brand.
