Of course it it possible. And this is exactly the right thing to do
(modulo the question of which raw frame API we keep).

null is a different case: nobody will use null specifically, if they use
it, they use it as a placeholder for generic code capable of handling
any muxer. And since it is generic code, it will handle any codec.

But anyway, you are reading this commit wrongly. It does not remove
support for rawvideo in null, rawvideo is still supported in null, as
any other codec. This commit only changes the default codec.
