I can't understand why tasks

I can't understand why tasks for Intel HD 4000 ceased to come to Parkes PMPS XT (1.52 BRP6-Beta-opencl-intel_gpu). I already have some successfully complete tasks:

Whether it means, what these tasks are more inaccessible to Intel HD 4000?

I'm too still waiting for BRP6 OpenCL Intel tasks, but don't have even one yet.

Currently BRP6 Beta work got Intel GPUs is only delivered to Intel HD XXXX where XXXX > 4000.

Whether it is possible to allow receiving the BRP6 Beta tasks for Intel HD4000? After all in deadline this card manages to count tasks...

We don't plan that at the moment, but once the beta app is made offficial, we will probably also make this app version the official app version for BRP4 , where HD4000 GPUs will get (much shorter running) work.

HB, the HD4000 performs just as well as the HD4600. It's got a few shaders less, but there seems to be some other limitation holding the theoretically faster GPU back. Please change this policy to Intel HD XXXX >= 4000. This would exclude only the HD2500 and "Intel HD Graphics", the low-end GT1 configurations - which makes sense IMO.

Agreed, that's my experience as well with one each of the 4000 and the 4600.

So HD2500 users will run only

So HD2500 users will run only BRP4 tasks while they are available (about a year as Bernd said somewhere here). And after that HD2500's will eventually become useless for Einstein, will they?

We need to keep enough BRP4 tasks to keep Android devices busy for the foreseeable future. By letting the faster HD 4x00 , x > 0 , crunch BRP6 we will save more work for the less powerful Intel GPU. We might have some additional GPU enabled searches in the future, whether some of those will have tasks that have the right siye for GPUs like the HD2500 is too early to tell at this moment.
