Ya did see this right? http://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/rhce_faq.html
For how long will my RHCE certification be considered current? The validity period for all RHCEs and RHCTs is now officially pegged to the release of the Enterprise product commercially available at the time certification was earned, and certification shall be current until after one (1) major release of the Enterprise product. All RHCEs earned on Red Hat Linux 7.3 or prior will be considered current until the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES/WS 4. All RHCEs and RHCTs earned on Red Hat Linux 8.0 or 9 will remain current until the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Validity and current status of an RHCE certificate will continue to be verified at Certification Central. Also redhat hasn't unlisted any version certs a 5.2 RHCE is still a valid RHCE, but redhat can't vouch that he should know stuff on 8.0.
