Oh, that old chestnut! No, not at all. For verbs in -ize/-ise (and hence
derived nouns in -ization/-isation), -z- has long been the preferred
spelling for such scholarly British publishers as the Oxford University
Press - including in the great Oxford English Dictionary (published from
1888 onwards).
