How long is your commitment?

MY committment (to any project I am attached to) is for the life of the 
project, or as long as circumstances allow.  I can't say that for any 
particular machine, though.  And I'm not prepared to commit resource 
to a project which doesn't have a reasonable degree of flexibility, 
resilience and allowance for component failure.  It's moot anyway, because 
I am never going to sign up to BOINC anyway.  It just struck me that a 12 
month work unit was a poor decision in project design in principle.
