I don't see any problem with that, since as far as I know the only current users of the two modules are glibc-related modules in Gnulib itself. However, if in the future programs find these two modules useful, I suppose we'll need to rename them back.

The scratch_buffer_dupfree function was added to glibc in 2020 only to make it easier to sync canonicalize.c with Gnulib at the time. So it is a bit ironic that removing scratch_buffer_dupfree from Gnulib now would cause us to in some sense deprecate scratch_buffer.
