Personally, I'm very happy about these exam changes. I got my RHCE last year, and I've passed the Openstack & Red Hat Storage exams since joining Red Hat. I was looking at taking the Openshift administration & RHEV exams over the summer, then starting the path toward RHCA in the fall. But if I pass those two, I'll only need one more exam for RHCA level 1.

My RHCSA & RHCE both have validity dates. I'm probably going to take the OpenShift exam this week, so we'll see if that ups either of those dates if I pass.
Red Hat Certificates of Expertise earned on or after October 1, 2014 will be considered current for three (3) years from the date they are earned.Red Hat Certificates of Expertise earned before October 1, 2014 will be considered current until October 1, 2017. Red Hat appreciates and acknowledges the professionals who have been earning Certificates of Expertise since 2005 and wants to ensure that the transition to the new policy is done in the least disruptive manner possible.
