"Should #WordPress Have a Certification Program?"

I'm not opposed but I feel like the cat is out of the bag on this… WP needs better education, training but i've never been asked in my freelancing if i've been "certified" and in my personal experience from interactions w/ others being certified in anything isn't a guarantee.
That's plus some of the questions asked in the article. </$0.02>
