Is there excessive lubricant on my new rear derailleur?
I just received a new Shimano Deore rear derailleur, which has large gobs of lubricant in two locations (one clearly visible in photo). This seems excessive.
Do I leave it, or are they expecting you to wipe the excess away before installing?

I'd wipe it off a bit--it won't serve any purpose as it is, apart from collecting dirt.
