I'm considering switching. There are rumours that classis is near the end of

cache size" to 0, wait for it to use up the remaining WUs, then switch to 
BOINC. Although I have read the above caveats.

That is what I would do.

Do Berkeley have an official position - or timescale - on this? If they do 
pull classic, it will leave thousands of screen saver people wondering what 
happened.

They have said they will try and give a 1 month warning but have not
said when that warning starts. They have missed all previous time
targets. Now that the UPS situation is fixed, I would guess that as
soon as the power situation is figured out, it won't be long. They
have been in the planning stages for awhile.
