I wonder if this is the end

I wonder if this is the end of BRP4?  I see two "new" old 2013 apps make an appearance lately for x86_64.

Are they deprecating the ARM apps I wonder?

I don't see why it should be. The server status page says there are still over 150,000 beams to analyse (though I don't know how up-to-date or reliable that figure is). I think the plan was to release the remaining work gradually, to make use of the slower and less capable devices - the work they're doing is (I think) a longer and deeper re-scan of data which has already been processed, to see if anything was missed the first time round. It isn't urgent, and the one thing we do know for certain is that there won't be any new recordings from Arecibo when these are finished.

Looking at the recent results from my ARM tablet - 28% invalid - they may be feeling that the accuracy and the consistency of the current apps needs to be reviewed and tightened, to make a more energy-efficient use of the current resource.
