SETI will need all the computer power it can get, so don't chicken
out now !

So maybe they should reconsider the migration to BOINC, which is going 
to lose them computing resource (in the form of people like me who 
no longer trust the motives behind - and hence the contents of - the 
software being churned out for BOINC) or farming it out to competing 
projects (in the form of alternate project clients for BOINC).  The 
very fact that they are going ahead with BOINC at all suggests to me 
that there's an agenda of personal gain behind it for someone, given 
the potential risk it poses to the resources available to the SETI 
effort.
