Well, yes, OpenCL is just language. And "ATI" is just name of one of brands 
(dead brand, btw).
That is, "ati13ati" equally inadequate to describe hardware abilities as 
"OpenCL".

W/o introducing new plan class how do you propose to tell BOINC that it can 
summon particular app for one of AMD devices and can't for another one?
We have 2 devices with different capabilities, no matter that they belong to 
same hardware brand, brand label means nothing in this case, hardware 
capabilities are matters!

Nor should it be; OpenCL is a language system, not a GPU type.
