Yes it did vanish. Because it was one of the reasons that Seti was cheated. And because it was not very just: You would get 1 Point for every WU, if it was a 3-second-WU or a 18-hrs-WU.

All about BOINC: BOINC-Wiki (by Paul D. Buck)

Seti had a lot of problems recently but since I updated to BONIC 5.2.13 as recommended Seti is preempted virtually all the time. Looking at past history many credits from a way back are pending or nonexistent. I ran the OLD version as long as I could not only becaus it was reliable but there was instant feedback about most credits (sometimes messages indicated results already sent for NEW data processed).
I guess I am just one of those who likes the warm fuzzy of instant (accurate) feedback which seems to have vanished. I am sure we are still doing some good but interest is fading without the feedback and seeing projets being preempted or not accurately credited.

The problem with the world is ignorance and apathy
but most people don't know and don't care!
