Anyone have any idea how long they'll keep accepting results after they
stop sending out WUs?

"Sometime" until they repurpose the hardware supporting Classic over to fully supporting Boinc.


Note however that sending further results to Classic is futile unless the WU count is really that important for you.

Berkeley are transferring the Classic database over to Boinc-Seti at the moment. Also, the Classic WUs are the _same_ WUs given to Boinc so the additional redundancy is just that, excessive redundancy.

There's the implication that no further science will be collected from the Classic results at some point very soon if not now.


Now is a good time to move over to Boinc-Seti.


Happy crunchin',
