It wasn't put into the "too hard" basket. It was put into the "end of August **or so**" basket.
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/812#comment:3 "Maintaining per-app-version DCF in the client isn't too hard, but that's only part of the job; DCF is also used by the scheduler to decide what jobs can be sent. For this, we'd also need to add to scheduler requests a list of app versions and their DCFs, and extend the scheduler to parse this and use the DCFs if present. I won't have time to do this until late Aug. or so.
