You make some good points.  Still, "tomahawk" does have some negative connotations.  How about "Appaloosa," after the breed of horse, which was originally bred by the Nez Perce tribe, and helped them to prosper?

I remember Craig's reasoning.  My point is that shale is a catchy
name.  A lot easier way to identify the subproject then calling it
"enhanced controller built on JSF."

My point is that this subproject is something that people may end up
using independently of MyFaces.  If it had a codeword it would be
easier for people to refer to it without confusing it with the "core"
of MyFaces (which is a JSF implementation.)

I am familiar with the definition of lone wolf.  Personally I doubt
anyone pays much attention to the "signals" a subprojects name might
be sending.
