If the intent is to remove those, I don't think it's a good idea.
Other tests may be testing replication but they don't test the setup
created by --all, which consists of objects generated with names
crafted by utility.

Said that we should also test the behaviour when such objects already
exist. But I guess randomness in generated names is hard to control.
