Power5+, Power6 -> zSeries is what I've been waiting for years.
I recall how cleanly Apple ripped out M680x0 and plugged in PowerPC without missing a beat. I recall the AS/400 having its s/38-like chip being replaced by RS/6000 family. I remember PC370 being partly a microcoded M680x0 with S/370 instruction support.
One processor family across the board. Way to go, IBM!
