I've given my opinion in the past, but for the record in this thread...
Just call it Struts. Period, end of story.
Anything else is, IMO, a superfluous, likely confusing change. I see no
point in it and I believe it to be a bad idea.
Count me -1, non-binding of course.

If this all goes well, then I'm thinking we can roll 1.3.0 sometime next week.
Now about the whole "what to call it" thing :)
I was about to suggest "Struts Smurf", but, hey, why not go for the
next best thing?
We've called everything else "Action", why not call the framework that too? :)
OK, let's try it on for size:
Today, the Apache Struts project is comprised of two distinct
frameworks and several subprojects. The two frameworks are *Struts
Action* and *Struts Shale*. Struts Action is the original action/page
framework. Struts Shale is an event/component framework based on
JavaServer Faces.
...
Struts Action is a flexible control layer based on standard
technologies like Java Servlets, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, and XML,
as well as various Jakarta Commons packages, like BeanUtils and Chain
of Responsibility. Action helps you create an extensible development
environment for your application, based on published standards and
proven design patterns.
....
Struts Action in a Nutshell
The framework's controller class, also called "Action", acts as a
bridge between the application's Model and the web View. When a
request is received, the Request Processor invokes an Action class.
The Action class consults with the Model (or, preferably, a Facade
representing your Model) to examine or update the application's state.
The framework provides an ActionForm class to help transfer data
between Model and View.
....
We could then call the bundle the "Struts Action Library".
Thoughts on calling the core of the original framework "Action"? Last call!
