How long will the current "Period Search Application" project run for, or just Asteroids@Home? Any estimate on when this project will finally run out of work units, or will the area or number of asteroid mapping or whatever just keep expanding?

So I can see, but what is the end goal of this project? Will it just be up and running till the end of time?
