I'd like to discuss YUVJ deprecation/removal. To what extent do we need to put
an additional deprecation warning on these? libswscale already prints a warning
on every use, informing the user that they need to set metadata correctly.

Is it feasible to replace YUVJ pixfmts by #define for their non-YUV equivalent
analogs in 7.0? 7.1?
