I heard a representative of IBM state that what made a system i, system
p, and soon a system z was the operating system installed, the hardware
was essentially the same.
So, this story is not really surprising to me.

Definitely. The last re-branding was unnecessary but fortunately will
be forgotten soon enough.
It should be far easier for IBM to market and sell a common hardware
line. The case for i5/OS (or whatever it will be called) remains, but
should get resistance now that it can be said it's just software that
runs on a "unix" server.
I don't care what they call i5/OS or how they market it (OS, App Server,
etc.) as long as it sells.
