Joel doesn't realize that when I was stating about how the 2010 Intel 
lineup...

Well, back in that era, the i5 was a newly designed/designated CPU, but 
it wasn't "higher end" because the i7 and Xeons were already out by then 
too, and Intel's corporate roadmap was that Xeons was for workstations 
and the i7 targeted the business and high-end consumer markets, which 
left the i5 for mainstream consumer and i3 for entry-level consumers.

That I was paraphrasing from Intel's literature descriptions on Wiki.
As such, its not my claim (nor Alan's) that the i5 was just "mainstream" 
from 2009 to present.
