You are not using an up-to-date version of the file, since this header
changed in development version. Could you rebase your patch on top of
latest development release?

Could you mention this removal in etc/ORG-NEWS? This is a user-visible
change.

Also, could you provide an appropriate commit message, e.g.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ob-lisp: Drop SLY in favor of SLIME

  * lisp/ob-lisp.el (org-babel-expand-body:lisp,
    org-babel-execute:lisp): Use SLIME instead of SLY.
  (org-babel-lisp-eval-fn): Remove variable.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Feel free to add justifications about this change at the end of the
commit message.

Regards,
