That's basically just a Drupal distro though, admittedly the only one 
available from drupal.org right now :)

About the most inclusive term I can think of is 'web site development 
framework', but that's hardly sexy.

I can also say I don't particularly like Drupal's brand, from the 'community 
plumbing' to the playful 'kewl' Druplicon - they're not bad per se, they 
just don't seem to fit what Drupal is and where it's going, and they're not 
particularly the sort of thing you want to point at when telling a customer 
  you want to build a site on Drupal.

I think Drupal is growing up and it needs a grown up brand that suggests 
strength, reliability and trustworthiness.

How could that happen? I think we need to follow through on a suggestion 
that's been made before, pull all of the dev stuff on drupal.org into a 
different site, dev.drupal.org can keep druplicon and the 'fun to work with' 
image, whilst drupal.org would have a more sober marketing oriented image.
It doesn't even actually need to be a separate site, Drupal is quite capable 
of presenting two 'fronts' in one site :)
