Hi,

I posted a patch not long ago to remove the long-deprecated glob_sequence 
pattern type.

https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20267

As far as I know there is no strict rule against removing options or 
changing defaults without a major version bump, generally we follow common 
sense (eg. if the change have limited impact, it should be OK without 
waiting for a bump).

Limited impact can be subjective of course, and every change can break 
someone's workflow (<insert well known xkcd pic here about cpu 
heating>)...

In any case, I intend to merge this soon, let me know if somebody strongly 
disagrees.

Thanks,
Marton
