Are there any plans to add .NET and C# certifications

All .NET and C# certifications are retired already, do you plan to create new ones for .NET 6/7/8 and C# 10/11?

What can we do to encourage you to create .NET certifications? Do we have to vote somewhere, like for feature requests?

As far as I'm discussing the topic with friends and colleagues, .NET developers need a way to proove their abilities and to assert that their team members are capable of developing solutions using .NET and C#. It is very unexpected that you have retired all C# and .NET certifications. I completely understand the new organization of the certifications, but I think there must be technology specific certifications (for .NET, C#, SQL Server, etc), because now each company is trying to do it on their own.
