Do you just want to deprecate it (i.e. add some warning when used) or do
you want to do the change right away? Doing the change right away seems
reasonable.

Specification
https://w3c.github.io/media-source
Summary
The Media Source standard long ago changed to disallow ambiguously
defined behavior involving asynchronous range removals: *
SourceBuffer.abort() no longer aborts SourceBuffer.remove() operations
* Setting MediaSource.duration can no longer truncate currently
buffered media Exceptions will be thrown in both of these cases now.
Safari and Firefox have long shipped this behavior, Chromium is the
last browser remaining with the old behavior. Use counters show
~0.001%-0.005% of page loads hit the deprecated behavior. Primarily
small Russian sites. If a site hits this issue, playback may now
break. Usage of abort() cancelling removals is increasing, so it's
prudent to resolve this deprecation before more incompatible usage
appears.

Anticipated spec changes
Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github
issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution
may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or
structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
