This is all still "conjecture" and "best guess".

What has happened just now is that the science databases merging is more of a problem than Berkeley first imagined. A quirk of SQL/Informix means that they must do more work for merging the seti-classic and boinc-seti science databases into one...

Dates, scenarios and what really will happen are all subject to change!

What is certain is that Boinc-seti is the new system that is taking over  all new work.


You can hang on to seti-classic and "take your chances". However, as already said, with the present results getting merged, you take your chances as to whether anything is usefully done with any further seti-classic results returned.

My personal advice is to move to Boinc-seti (or whatever DC project) sooner rather than later to avoid possibly wasted effort.
