SmartConsole Upgrade to R82.10

We have planned to updgrade our Security Management Server from R82 to R82.10, but up on doing a verification i have recieved a warning message indicating "Policy Auditor features will be deprecated and unavailable in R82.10 and higher. If you require Policy Auditor functionality, do not upgrade beyond R82."

I have for the moment two SMS upgraded to R82.10, one with advanced migration and the other with Blink and the Policy Auditor is still there.

Maybe it will be removed in an upcoming JHF, but it's a rather new feature.

Considering Policy Auditor is in the documentation: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R82.10/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R82.10_SecurityManagement_AdminGuide/Content/Topics-SECMG/Policy_Auditor.htm
And we announced it as GA a couple months ago: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/AI-Network-Firewall/Excited-to-announce-Policy-Auditor-is-now-Generally-available/m-p/277473#M105570
I'd say that message is erroneous.
