The new name doesn't convey the intent of the function. If we want to
have a difference based on remote/local slots then we can probably
name it as drop_local_obsolete_slots.

The new names sound better in the above cases as the current names
appear too generic.

The new names don't sound like an improvement.

In the above cases, the current name conveys the intent of function
whereas new names sound a bit generic. So, let's not change in this
case.
