What qualifies as the "de facto" standard in the Linux Certification market is a matter of informed opinion. However, I invite you to examine some independent research on this subject. For example the salary survey in Certification Magazine: http://www.certmag.com/images/CM1205_Figure1.htm. In that study LPI rated tops amongst all the Linux certifications.

In addition your contention that the vendor-neutral approach is irrelevant is not consistent with our own experience around the world. I regularly speak with 10+ year senior and experienced IT professionals from Fortune 100 enterprises. Again and again they maintain that the LPI certification is highly valued by clients precisely because it is vendor-neutral. Clients and employers have confidence that the advice they are receiving from LPI-certified solution providers because they are not "locked-in" to one particular vendor or solution. We are also regularly told of our merits because of the global acceptance of the LPI certification. Some Linux certifications enjoy greater popularity in some regions over others but only one Linux certification enjoys a global reputation and the numbers to demonstrate it as an industry standard.
