Vern,
In all honesty I don't think feedback will help. This isn't one or two missed references in a footer on page 79. "Power systems" simply does not exist as a term in the i 6.1 Information Center. Actually IBM calls it the i5/OS Info Center, but I'll use the right term even if IBM won't. Neither does "i 6.1" or just "i". This is a huge glaring oversight. It is painfully obvious that absolutely no attempt was made on IBM's part to update their documentation to use the new naming for either the hardware or OS. They've missed the boat twice.
I've also done web site maintenance and I agree that updates are a pain. But that's hardly an excuse. If IBM wants to rebrand, then rebrand. Part of that process is updating documentation to reflect the new brand. IBM updated the i home page area but stopped short of updating everything else. There was a conscious decision to stop in there somewhere.
And regarding a 'unified front', please don't tell me to do IBM's job of marketing the platform. My employer is IBM's customer and we pay them a lot of money for products and services. It is most definitely not my job to earn IBM profits.
