As per Oracle policy, certification credentials are awarded only for currently active certification tracks. While the certification credentials for earlier tracks remain valid, we do not certify new candidates on retired certification tracks. To align with this policy, please note your assignment will be graded only if you are pursuing the current Java SE6 Developer certification track that is congruent with this essay exam. We will not review assignments for certification tracks prior to Java SE6 Developer certification.
To determine the version of the certification track for your assignment, you can refer to the email that you have received from Sun with the exam assignment purchase details. The assignment exam should be #310-252A (the assignment referenced on this page). If you don’t have your assignment purchase email, you can refer to the date you purchased your assignment and the assignment was issued. Valid assignments must have been issued after January 2008. Any assignments that were issued prior to this date are no longer valid as they are for a retired certification track. All path and exam retirements are announced on the website 3 months prior to the retirement.
If you wish to pursue the Java Developer certification, you will need to complete the requirements for the current certification path Oracle Certified Master, Java SE6 Developer

If that is true, then I would think that this is poor on the side of Oracle to allow pre 2008 assignments, and then all of a sudden not to allow them.
