Not quite. It was just extrapolation. Current situation with "ATI" type is poor enough even w/o any additional accelerator types. BOINC treats 2 completely different GPU types (different API = different GPU type) as single one - "ATI". If stock app can solve this by app plan classes, anonymous platform app has no such possibility. "ATI" accelerator type does't discriminate between CAL and OpenCL APIs.
