One of the problems is "forcing" people to update to the newest

core Seti Client for you or tell you by not downloading any new units.
Berkeley has tried that with Classic and gotten QUITE a bit of flak!

Boinc certainly is the way to go for flexibility and good rapidly developing science.

I feel there is still a need for a 'well known, well understood' and 'thoroughly tested' client that is updated very _infrequently_ so that production servers can be reasonably utilised. Otherwise, boinc is restricted to home use only and then only for the foolhardy reckless in industry.
