With v18beta1 already out in the wild, I think that we are too late for taking any action on this version at this stage. Putting a deprecation notice for a selected set of conversions and/or encodings and do the actual removal work when v20 opens up around July 2026 would sound like a better timing here, if the overall consensus goes in this direction, of course. -- Michael
