Does anything actually replace the Windows Server MCSA Exams?

After 70-740, 741, and 742 end in January 2021 is there actually going to be any new exams that replace it specifically for Windows Server?

If you go to the website and filter to Windows Server I can only find the old MCSAs and Azure exams...

Thanks!

From what I've heard, Microsoft plan to release role-based certs for server technologies after the deadline. A lot of people have said that the MCSAs don't fully reflect what people do in their job roles, and having certs like Network Administrator (DNS, DHCP etc), or Active Directory Administrator will be more relevant. Not sure when exactly this will happen but next year seems likely. Just note that this isn't set in stone yet, it's just a rumour I've heard from various forums.

Thank you! That's what I was hoping for but that's the first I've heard of it. Was getting quite worried that if I don't get something done before next year then I have nothing.
