I have a script written that directly runs the x264 program and now my script is broken.
To put it bluntly, that is not user friendly.
To be user friendly, at least in the Unix world, if an option is deprecated, it is not removed. A warning is displayed indicating that the option is either no longer used, or replaced by another option and lists that option. The program should not bail. In the future, say 6 months, then the option can be removed.
Give the poor user a chance to modify scripts/programs, instead of blind siding them.
Thanks for considering this for future releases when options are going to be removed.
Now to figure out what changed.
