As long as BOINC can rest assured that the executing boinc-client knows exactly who is using the BOINC home folder - itself only, it does not need to fight any competitors who otherwise might want to continue a result file that is currently being worked on. And flagging a workunit is not sufficient since the file may be leftover from some system crash. Yes, there are means to circumvent such issues, but this will render the software more complicated. I can even presume that BOINC does it all already, though. Even if your workunit could be shared between work and home and as such be completed earlier - you can almost same as well have one workunit worked at at home and suspend that until you are home again. We should leave things as simple as possible. And if you lose the one or other workunit, or if it comes in later than the deadline - well - in my mind this does matter so much. Also, I don't think that multiple applications should work on the same workunit since it then is unclear in case of a later identified error which workunits should be investigated again.
