Wrong, I say, WROOOOONG!!!!!

OpenCl is not OpenGL. It is more of a framework than an API. A high end
machine may have a number of different OpenCL hosts, the cpu, vector
cores built into the cpu as in the AMD APU line and intel's lame
knockoff thereof. =P

There is also OpenCL support in GPUs, Xeon Phi, FPGA and potentially
other devices too.

The game Planet Explorers (available on Steam) demonstrates how this
should be used. You are given a menu at the start of the game that lists
the available OpenCL implementations. You then select whatever device
you want to use for OpenCL that day...

So there should not be eselect OpenCL, All gentoo needs to do is enforce
standards on where the relevant libraries are stored and the application
will select which one to use.
