IMO, this is a bad idea at this point.

That's the kind of option that people would grow to expect "just works", and 
then just breaks with a VLC update because the default output is no longer 
OpenGL. Say Vulkan.

In fact, it's rather bizarre to invest so much effort on a sunset technology.

This is further aggravated by the lack of filters when passing video through 
from the hardware decoder to OpenGL. Users would learn the wrong habit of 
using --gl-filter=deinterlace,adjust instead of the normal existing filter 
syntax.
