So....  "System i" is the term for a whole series of product lines.
And "iSeries" isn't.  And "i5" is the current product line name, which is
a whole line of products, but not a series of product lines.

Do they have a whole committee of people who sit down and think "how can
we name our products in the most confusing possible way?".  I can't
imagine that you could "just come up" with something this confusing. It
must've required the efforts of many people working dilligently to keep
adding more and more confusion.
