`AdminClient` would be deprecated purely because it would no longer serve any purpose and would be virtually empty, getting all of its implementation from the new interfar. It would be nice to remove this from the API at the next major version bump, hence the need to deprecate.
`AdminClient.create()` would return what it does today, (so not a breaking change).
