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

If you look on the SETI@Home/BOINC page you'll see:

"The old SETI@home Classic project will stop issuing work on December
15, 2005."

If you look on the SETI@Home "classic" page you'll see:

"On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, this project will
shut down.
...
At the time of shutdown, the stats for this project will be frozen but
will continue to be available on the web."


If you takes all these statements together, you see that even in the
off-chance the server still accepts results after 15.12.2005, there
will be no point to return anything since the stats are frozen, and
the results will not be used for science.


This also means there's no point to cache anything more than normal,
but instead should slowly decrease cache-size the closer is to
shutdown.
