Thank you for the PM xyzzy as I got lost in all of the insanity. Ensuring people aren't penalized for WUs because of the upgrade outages is something I had already promised. For all WU's with a report_deadline between 2011-10-09 00:00:00 - 2011-10-13 00:00:00 GMT I have added 48 hours to the report_deadline. Actually this would have decreased server load earlier. What happens when the deadline passes is a 2nd WU is generated and sent out. Whichever WU is reported first is granted credit and the server sends an abort at the next network communication to the other client. This is the default BOINC system and in some cases may unfairly punish the 2nd cruncher.
