The problem grew too much or the organization didn't keep up with the times? Back when CERT was started there was no Bugtraq, NTBugtraq, Incidents, etc. mailing lists. Today its these resources that are getting the word out the quickest with the greatest level of detail. Don't see CERT doing anything any different today than they did 5-7 years ago. The difference is that these other groups are doing it quicker so the perception is that CERT is less effective.
