It's as much of a rule as we want to make it.  Some popular Apache packages 
that are not TLPs:

 - org.apache.derby
 - org.apache.torque
 - org.apache.yoko
 - org.apache.xbean
 - org.apache.woden
 - org.apache.neethi

If you use a clear brand, it's not a problem.  If you do "org.apache.naming", 
that's awfully frowned upon. :)

If we want to change package names on code we can do that, but there certainly 
won't be anyone forcing us to do that.
