In 20 years of professional computer-related work and consulting, 
I've found formal certifications to be relatively useless as a way of 
judging a job candidate's skill and knowledge.

While I'm sure it would generate income for the certifier, I'm not 
sure if this would really be of value to the community. Although if 
the money went to the Drupal Association and was used to fund the 
continued development of Drupal that would not be the worst thing to 
happen.
