apparently all traces of spy vs engi were removed, its thought by some people that gun mettle was just spy vs engi. (most balance changes affected spy and engi, cases are named after spy - concealed killer, and engi - craftsmann, and spy vs engi was going to use the quest system that was in gun mettle)

I hope you don't mean "Certified for TF2" which just means.. it officially works in the game and meets Valve's parameters for an item.
