The 'classic' terminology on the homepage is used more as a description rather than a name to me, speaking to its quality and vintage and in some small straightforward way. ActiveMQ 5 is still the way the broker is referenced on the site as a whole so far as I see, rather than ActiveMQ Classic. Essentially everywhere besides the subdir name being 'classic' in the URL for grouping some of the newest component pages. I dont think 'Leto' is particularly more useful than 'classic' as a description, and especially not an improvement for the subdir in the URL at this point. It would be quite the opposite for me personally, I think it would be a bad idea.
Changing the subdir on the site from 'classic' to something else simplistic and direct such as 5 or 5x or 5.x? Sure, I can see that. Dropping the "Classic" description suffix from the central box on the homepage, leaving only the ActiveMQ 5 titling? By all means. Leto? I dont really see that being an improvement at this point at all. On your other proposal of cleaning up mess, presumably that means the mass of old 5.x wiki-derived pages on the site in the root (done to preserve URLs during the site changeover I believe, over individual-page redirects) that are rarely ever touched, and moving such content into the subdir? Sounds great.
