We need to have admin-ack in 4.11 so that admins can check the deprecated APIs and approve when they move to 4.12.Refer https://access.redhat.com/articles/6955381 for  more information. As planned we want to add the admin-ack around 4.12 feature freeze. 

4.11

Always

1. Install a cluster in 4.11. 
2. Run an application which uses the deprecated API. See https://access.redhat.com/articles/6955381 for more information.
3. Upgrade to 4.12

The upgrade happens without asking the admin to confirm that the worksloads do not use the deprecated APIs.

Upgrade should wait for the admin-ack.

We had admin-acks in the past too e.g. https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/updating/updating-cluster-prepare.html#update-preparing-migrate_updating-cluster-prepare
