IIUC, drop is something we use if it ever considered to use earlier.
Remove is when we are completely getting rid of it.

Anyway, since it is just terminology and there are already some tags on
this change, I will let Andrew to take the decision and if he decides,
will give V2 with changing the commit message and collect all the tags.

Thanks,
Charan
