Yeah, maybe it is good not to remove it immediately since some new users are benefiting from Moo being less competitive.

I would love to see whitelist tiers resembling something like this:

Tier 1 - High quality publications in reputable journals and + ample work units. Examples: Rosetta, World Community Grid, Einstein, Milkyway, etc.
Tier 2 - A few publications in reputable journals + ample work units. OR High quality publications in reputable journals + low work units. Examples: GPUGrid (sporadic work units), climate prediction
Tier 3 - No publications/low probability of future publications and/or very dubious scientific or historical benefit. Example: Moo

Scientific publications are the currency of academic science so if we want to follow the scientific world we will have to encourage crunching on those projects that have the highest chance of publishing high quality research.
