I'm concerned it will do more harm than good. With the release of
Struts 6.7 we have a decent upgrade path as most
Actions/Interceptors/Results can now be made forwards compatible with
7.0. It leaves limited additional work when upgrading to 7.0. By
renaming the packages again we'd be breaking that path.

Also, getting Struts 6 running alongside 7 will be no easy feat,
assuming it's even possible. The effort of doing this would only make
sense if it were notably less than the effort to actually migrate code
from Struts 6.7 to 7.0.

I agree it would make sense to drop the '2' from org.apache.struts2
but if the benefit is only really aesthetic then I'm not sure it's
worth the cost (significant upgrade friction).
