I don't think it's a good idea to resurrect old software product names, because you bring with them all the old connotations. To the extent people know about Hivemind, they think of the product as old, out of date & dead.
Also, there were good reasons why Tapestry-IOC was not treated as a distinct project. As our docs say: "The difficulty of managing the release schedules of two complex frameworks proved to be an issue."
