It looks that way. The people involved have a vested interest to keep the
Struts name alive, even while they throw away the code. They benefit too
much from books, talks, seminars, apache.org addresses, you name it,
to start their new projects with a different name.

Not that they will admit it, but it's the simplest explanation (Occam's razor
and all that).
