No technical reason (assuming you do your homework). I think it has to
do with keeping the same serial number.

Larry,

Can you expand on this? We are currently on a Power 5+ and would like to
get to a Power 7. I don't see a technical reason why we can't go
straight to the 7...

If you have a POWER5 or 5+ machine you can already run IBM i 7.1 so
you're good. But on the other hand if you want to get up to POWER7 then
you would need to either upgrade to POWER6 and THEN to POWER7 (two
steps) to keep the same serial number or you buy a new POWER7 and get a
new serial number.
