Earlier the 15.30 UTC snapshot showed the "Waiting for Validation" to be
at 1.133 million. This means the validation/credit scoring/credit
allocation/work unit deletion cycle is getting worse quite quickly.

The server status, at 13.40 UTC shows the "waiting for validation" queue
is now up to 1.186 million and rising.

According to the web page the outages over the next few days should
help start clearing those.
