"No tasks are available for" FAAH, MCM, CEP2, OET or UGM (4 May 15)

My crunching devices are out of work or nearly so, and they are all getting "no tasks available" for the above 5 projects.
This is a rare event.
Results have been uploaded OK.
I can't find anything about this in the News section or the fora.
Why not?
Are there any other projects and do they have tasks available?
Have the 5 projects listed above suddenly finished?
Is something suddenly wrong at my end?
Is WCG being shut down?
[Edit]: Ah, here, in the FAAH forum [/Edit]

It's like those referred to Twitter messages... can't seem to find them: https://twitter.com/WCGrid

(Last visible to me is May 1)

Mind you, in another thread discussed, the xml data exports have also fallen over since May 1, so maybe our Friday Labor day became a long weekend in the USA ;?

Re: "No tasks are available for" FAAH, MCM, CEP2, OET or UGM

Let's all join hands....... ready? .......Is there anybody there ???

It is times like this that I ponder the "system" and ask questions like:

If all my rigs are set for a 6 day cache, how is it that one is dry and the rest soon will be?

stuff like that. (yes this is rhetorical)

Re: "No tasks are available for" FAAH, MCM, CEP2, OET or UGM

Now lost count on the number of threads on this matter, but saw ErikaT responding that she'd notified 'The Team'.

Anyone running LHC/CERN/ATLAS better check their project slots https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,37993. It seems this project does not get all it's job files cleared properly in amongst a 4.7GB VM image. This results in instantaneous job crashing at launch of WCG jobs if hitting on a non-empty slot, potentially causing serial job fails and thus the 'Reliability' channel being on overload. Now have 4 repair OET and 4 [Zero resource backup] Maliariacontrol.net on one host, so repairs seem to be out there in numbers.

Yes, rhetorical indeed, but for those who don't know, a 6 day cache on a non-slow machine is pointless, simply because there's a 35 per-core buffer limit of all WCG work combined. My Linux has had barely 18 hours worth of FAHV it was doing exclusively, because the times are hardly 30 minutes per job... 18 divvied by .5 hours is 36...oops, torqued off. It's not when the end-run starts, very soon, that I can pile up 10 days work to see if 'the goal' can still be achieved. sad. Remember, [sarc button] we're here to complete science ASAP, though without any work coming out the feeder that's hard, not to pursue contribution goals, not climbing rankings or anything.[/sarc button]
