I think it's still being called RAA.  You're probably thinking of the 
message that went out last week that said something like "RAA replaced".  
Basically that just meant that the interface to the RAA has been replaced 
and improved.  You can now do searches and there is catagorization.

Also perhaps you've heard talk about RAA.succ or RAA.next - that just 
means the next version of the RAA.  

AFIK the RAA is still going to be called RAA.
