Yeah. I tossed this around in my head, drop seemed short and cute. ;^)
Most if not all the import components are tools used to do the build
but not sources that became part of the product built bits.
Maybe the IcedTea guys can chime in on this.
I'm happy to change it to another name that makes more sense.

But, I know you do similar stuff in the FX world, so I wasn't sure if
"drop" came from there.

Is the "drop" name a standard convention, as compared to, say, "import"?
