No.

The ztomy nameservers appeared in this morning's master .COM zonefile as
/authoritative/ for the number of domains I mentioned.

It is a clear change from just a couple of days ago, when the listed
nameservers were nowhere to be seen.

I have solid data to back this up, straight from Verisign GRS (Verisign),
the authoritative registry for .COM, .NET and others.
