Thanks for helping out peck_ed. You said in this thread here that the waiting quests will remain on the April 11th maintenance.
"Thursday 11th - Explorers will no longer be able to find eggs, quest chains and waiting quests will remain (should you have the Explorer search quest "The Hint" check this thread for the fix)"
scroll up.
Over at the .net forum, another game master wrote waiting quests will be removed.

"Yes, the quests will be removed after the 11th."
