You can still easily get into deadline trouble with either large queues, or multiple projects and an occasional tight deadline.

On my computer, which is allocated about 300 AP WUs at a time, in late September Boinc was running AP WUs due in late October. Then when October 1 came it seemingly panicked and stopped doing anything but processing AP WUs due October 17. That behavior was useful when we could download thousands of WUs, but I think it should be questioned now.
