The obfuscator should either leave those method alone by default (since they're defined in an "outside" interface), or you should be able to configure it to leave them alone.
Either way, RemoteServiceServlet uses reflection and thus does need the method names intact. You may be able to alter the generated JavaScript code, or config to change the method names there as well, but I'm not sure how you would go about this. Easiest just to leave the method names alone.
