After three years, RSA Lattice Siever lost interest in continuing, so their work was merged into NFS@Home with the addition of queues for smaller factorizations.

Once the TI keys were done, the RSA Lattice Siever project continued with smaller numbers while NFS@Home focused on factoring larger numbers.
