AFAIK, IBM has only requested that you not bookmark the Sign In page. This
was in an item in IBMLink news from August 28, 2006.

Do NOT bookmark the Sign In page
This article provides recommendations on how to access IBMLink pages,
whether invoking a bookmark you previously created, clicking on a link in a
note or document, or entering a URL into your browser. By following these
recommendations, you will have a better experience using IBMLink.
You are advised to use one of the following methods when accessing IBMLink:
* Access the ServiceLink page (the URL that contains
"servicelink/servicelinkPage.jsp") via a bookmark.
* Access the Purchase/upgrade tools page (the URL that contains
"TTPU/displayTTPUPage.jsp") via a bookmark.
* Access a specific IBMLink application (the URL that contains the
application name) via a bookmark.
* Access the ServiceLink page via your country's Support and Downloads
page, then click on Access Premium Services (in the bottom section called
Electronic Tools)
* Access the Purchase/upgrade tools page via your country's Support and
Downloads page (Note: Only selected countries' Support and Downloads pages
have this link)

... when it's available!
