I disagree, it's not as simple as Kojima saying Ishmael is Solidus deal with it. It has to make sense in the overall story. Just like The Sorrow being Ocelot' dad explains why he was nearly taken over by Liquid before changing the arm. Having a 2 year old fully capable and chosen to protect the greatest soldier alive, seems like it'd bring up far more questions to be answered in one game than necessary.

But meh I could be wrong, I just don't see Ishmael being Solidus.
