Actually it *again* goes by the old name. There were several years when
SAGE pointlessly attempted to stamp out the expansion. Repeat after
me: attempts to play with the name never help.

And yes, LISA came first, then BayLISA, then SAGE. I point this out only
to quash arguments on the subject (as a founder of BayLISA and of SAGE).
