The goal is that a BOINC server with the default settings should
address these issues in a way appropriate to a production project:
- validation
- credit granting
- job runtime estimation
- assignment of deadlines

Of course, everything can be overridden,
but this should be the exception rather than the rule.
Expecting project admins to understand a bunch of complex
issues and sift through mountains of configuration options
has, I think, significantly limited the adoption of BOINC by scientists.
