I would certainly agree with that sentiment. My (somewhat terse) earlier
post was not intended otherwise, but on re-reading it could be
interpreted that way. 

There are quite a few examples of other ISV products that have been
"grandfathered" into the IBM namespace - our own BB* stuff for example.

However, IBM provides a registry for these things and as far as I know,
they will not assign an internal TLA that conflicts with a registered
ISV product - even if that product is in the IBM namespace.
