Well, it's always good to have a few extra as sometimes things go wrong.

I also got a little impatient trying to finish DS3, so I queued up a few extra so that fast, active machines would get them and complete instead of waiting for stragglers/disappeared machines to time out WUs (1 week) before they'd get resubmitted.

The progress scoreboard on the wiki caps the colored boxes at 10k, but the actual count is likely higher for each one.

When I cut the full DS3 release (I've been busy with the client) it'll have a 10k of each from the 10k+extra for each network type.
