MySQL scales better on IBM boxes as mainframes and Power servers have lower CPU core counts.
Blue suits for everyone.
Pick your winters — HQ moves to Rochester, MN or upstate NY.

From at technical point of view, it would make some sense. MySQL would make a nice complement to DB2 (like people are using Oracle backends and MySQL webfrontends now). Also, as a component of Kickfire/Infobright, MySQL + Cognos could provide the infrastructure for a BI/DWH solution.
