Doing some quick testing it seems Carousel behaves much better for mobile that Slider.

After quick checking the only functionality of Slider that is missing in Carousel seems to be the Fullscreen Slider.

Yes thats true and we should merge the components into one component with the features combined.
Because they are both called Slider and I often wonder, which one is meant.
So this would clear things up. Wdyt?

About this, also note that Slider is used in M3 specification as the component that we call Range.

This would be another argument in favor of removing current slider component.

Not sure if is a good idea to rename Range to Slider following M3 or it would cause confusion.

We could keep the old names as undocumented names and use new names in the docs to ensure backwards compatibility.

We can use the name Carousel for the merged component then.
