[cisco-voip] Is Your CCIE Status on Your Cisco.com Profile?

[Anthony Holloway]

Low blow Mt Penguin, low blow.  I'm not saying you get developers on the
case with you.  I think it's more of a backbone TAC (if available) versus
the outsourced TAC.  I admittedly haven't opened a TAC case since fixing my
status, so the benefit has yet to be seen by me.  I did notice I can select
Sev 2 online, however, Sev 1 was still disabled as an option when I took a
cursory look.
