I noticed that this project shows a huge backlog of completed workunits waiting to be validated and assimilated. If the Server Status page is correct, there's almost 2 million waiting validation and 5.3 million waiting assimilation. This looks much larger than any of the other projects I'm a part of that show these stats(LHC, Einstein, Milky Way, or NFC). None of them show over 1,000 workunits in either of these two categories.
I used the verb "shows," because the issue may be that the server status page may be incorrect.

Should we be concerned?

No. CPDN doesn't use boinc's validation function.

Workunits waiting for validation
Workunits waiting for assimilation
Workunits waiting for file deletion

aren't used by cpdn, but they are in the boinc server software. Those stats are left on the server status page (which can be confusing) since they are not removed every time a server upgrade occurs.

Ah! Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
