They are on the near-term to-do list, if someone else doesn't get to them first. They are on Sam's latest wanted list. Also near term are 2,1714L,M, the latter of which may be the project's first GNFS.

The three most recent additions to the list under "Status
of Numbers" are the Cunningham numbers of "snfs difficulty" 259
(neglecting two at 258.8 that would have required a quartic
polynomial). The two you mention are at 252.5; so more
overhead switching numbers.

One of the three added is a 2LM (1726L), so 2LM's aren't being
neglected here (two of the 16 on the "Numbers" list). One of
the others just added is the 3rd-from-last to be reserved from
the previous list of "Wanted" numbers (viz, 7, 307+; with the
other two above the current NFS@Home range).

From the new "Wanted" lists Greg's post refers to (mailed as hardcopy
with the factors on Sam's "Page 112"; we're still waiting for the
online version), all of the "Most Wanted" are already reserved
(three currently here in "Post Processing"). Not counting the
third of our new "Numbers" (6, 334+), there are just ten new
"More Wanted" not already reserved, including the two you've mentioned.
We should be able to clear several of these. -bdodson

(PS - The term "snfs difficulty" refers to the estimate for the
runtime of our factorizations, as measured by the asymptotic
formula.)
