Can we remove them from the released YAMLs: https://github.com/knative-sandbox/eventing-kafka/blob/07af4e8e1ee3e5469b94073bc497b2619c310650/hack/release.sh#L26-L34

If the components are specific to certain packages you can probably mark those packages are deprecated using godoc

Can we remove them from the released YAMLs:

Should we continue on this? We have some CI upgrade test failures, as it uses some deprecated API version for PodDisruptionBudget and HPA (see #1287 for example). Or would we first have to deprecate but keep them in the yamls for a few releases?

@creydr yes, please, we cannot move forward with the release (yesterday) without this
