My Question:
Is this saying that we are re-crunching already crunched wu's?
And that no more *new* wu's are forthcoming??

If I understand it correctly, it says that the most promising results
from the first 50% of the analysis were used to make new observations
and generate new work units, and those have now been returned and are
being analyzed.  Also, when the remaining 50% of the original data is
finished being processed, there will be a new set of reobservations made
and more new work units distributed.

At least, that's how I interpreted the remarks in the newsletter.
