break appeared early in SER; so, it remained.
drop is a tad newer (?) and probably appeared in the tradition of packet filtering naming. there is also the more intuitive "exit" alternative to it.
there is also a "return" alternative for break.

I'm assuming these are SER 2.0 commands?

Is it possible to have come up with even more convoluted and
non-intuitive names? Perhaps "frog" and "bunny"  or "seratonin" and
"cuisinart" ?  I mean, why stop with 'brake,' which is so close to being
'break' (the command one usually uses in a programming setting to escape
a loop) and yet... isn't. Or drop... which really doesn't imply to me
'stop execution' as much as it implies ignore an incoming connection...
or perhaps delete a table.
