By continuing to carry obsolete filters, FFmpeg emasculates itself.
How?
That makes FFmpeg appear to be chaotic and ties up names that could
be, should be reused to better effect.
There are probably extremely few instances where a name would rationally
be reused; to do so for a different function would create chaos, not
remove it. Or are you making the argument that some filters should be
completely rewritten? (That could make some sense, but who's going to do
it?)
The same could be written about many FFmpeg filters. Dump them, or
create a "Legacy" category in the documentation and put them there.
There is a decent argument to be made in tagging some filters/etc as
'deprecated'*, how those are chosen as a different question.
* use is discouraged, are not being maintained, might not work in all
circumstances, etc
Later,
