Well, actually depends that you're putting into the "end", since BOINC will atleast initially crunch seti1-wu.
But anyway, they should fix all important BOINC-bugs & finnish making a real validator, and afterwards hopefully use a month to fine-tune benchmarks/crediting... So I wouldn't expect a release before in February 2004.
Afterwards, it really depends on if they gives an extra month to crunch after stopping delivering wu or not, but if they do it should be 30.04.2004 at 23:59:59 UTC.
Of course, 17.05.2004 is 5th anniversary from official launch, so this can also be the cut-off-date.
