    I think we anyway need some backward imcompatible change,
    and require rewriting of old codes that utilize glyph-table.
    And, if so, it seems that deleting glyph-table (and
    create-glyph) is the easiet solution.

It is surely the easiest.  The question is whether the glyph table
feature is still useful.

Based on Stefan's info, I think we can delete it.  Thanks, Stefan, for
investigating.
