Isn't CC self-defeating, then, if any change, such as a "service
pack", requires re-certification?  Perhaps, a logical conclusion is
that CC is completely worthless for any computer that isn't on a very
exclusive isolated military network.  Outside of that, it seems to be
a marketing tool to reel in easy money from well-intentioned--but
naive--customers.
