agreed 100000000%... all my machines have split their time pretty much equally 
between all currently running projects... it took a bit of manual tuning but i 
felt that it was best for the projects and (at the bottom of the pile) my 
rankings...

this is even more true when one considers that the projects regularly recycle 
keys that are deemed overdue... hoarding keys in any project is a detriment to 
both the project and the maintainers of those boxen...

ranking are like statistics... in the end, they don't mean a thing ;)
