Sorry, guys, but I have to take the other side.

The vendor has *no* control over how you implement the software. Or if
you choose to remove a piece and replace it. Or if you configure it such
that it does not behave as it is supposed to. 

So, take some auditors trying to grapple with a really complex issue and
you get some really foggy questions. Worse, they are bound to be making
some really, ah, interesting 'suggestions'. 

We gotta come up with some really good answers, and fast. IBM, your
customers are hurting here!

Shouldn't any competent auditor who is asking about a vendor's programs
know
that they have to ask the vendor, not the user?  Shouldn't your only
response have to be "Ask IBM"?
