Why on dunfell LTS branch was gstreamer was bumper to 1.18?

Hi,

this is not an issue just general question. Why gstreamer on LTS branch was bumped from 1.16 to 1.18? I need to use 1.16 internally (I added fix to build it on dunfell but I have still failing gstreamer1.0-python) with:

| checking for pygobject-3.0 >= 3.8... yes
| checking for libraries required to embed python... no
| configure: error: Python libs not found. Windows requires Python modules to be explicitly linked to libpython.

Thanks.

The OE-core dunfell branch have gstreamer 1.16.3. There are no need to use this layer if you don't need gstreamer 1.18.

Ok thanks a lot. I think why I used this repo was that for zeus I need 1.16 gstreamer and now I bumped to dunfell and forgot to drop this meta layer. Thanks.
