Checking the status page, we seem to be stuck on 26 exponents between
6,325,000 and 6,972,593 - that haven't had one LL test. I've been double
checking exponents in this range for months (and getting them done at the
rate of more than 1 per month). I've been double checking because that is
"work makes the most sense", but does it make sense to double check this
range when there are untested ones? If these 26 were actually being
tested, they would be knocked off at the rate of at least one per day, and
it has been a while since one has been finished.
