I see it from this POV: what does the World gain with more bureaucracy in it? If I need to contract someone to work on GIMP or another Image Manipulation program, I will sit him in front of a computer and watch him draw. Besides that, certifications are sometimes sought for those without the abilities or application to stand by themselves, either in their C.V. or personally. I dislike the idea of a GIMP certification - and please note that I could make a lot of money out of it, as I certainly would be entitled to teach courses for, and concede such certifications in my country.
