Future of 399 exam

With IBM announcing that it is withdrawing support for WebSphere 5.1 in late February 2007 , I was a bit concerned about the future of IBM 399 test . Since 399 deals with WPS 5.1 which runs on Websphere 5.1 , is it likely that 399 will be scraped in near future.

Also since test 829 has come in , is it more prudent to go for the latest test 829 ? What are the major changes in it ?

Please comment

It has announced withdrawn from market(ing) not from support, support will be there for at least one more year.

Funny, but when you try to find test 399 by number on the IBM certification page, it's no longer there? I wonder if that's a hint?

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
