Cisco Certification Overhaul 2/24/2020 --> Recertification Requirements

Posting this over at Cisco too but wanted to hit here as well.

I've had a CCNP R&S for the past 6 years. Recertification has always been "Take one of the three tests (ROUTE, SWITCH, TSHOOT) and your whole cert is renewed for three years. No need to take all 3 every 3 years. Now with the 2/24/2020 changes, CCNP is two tests: One Core, One Specialty of your choice. The prerequisites are also gone. So that BS where if you let your CCNP lapse you have to do the CCNA and all 3 CCNP tests again is (finally) no longer a factor. But, I am wondering if since that pressure is removed, you have to recertify with BOTH CCNP tests (core & specialty) every 3 years, or if it's still "Take one of the two tests and you're fully renewed for another 3 years." I've looked for this answer and haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know?
