I interpreted the string " :-D" as meaning that the suggestion was not intended to be taken seriously. And I wasn't going to join in this thread at all, but apparently it is necessary to defend the original naming of Sage (which started out as an acronym), since back in 2004 or whenever many people told William it was never going to work, or be successful, or whatever, and I fully understand why it did nto seem necessary to bother about other packages with the same name doing different things. Hindsight is another matter.
