Description

**Describe your scenario**
IPVS is being deprecated in [KEP-5495](https://kep.k8s.io/5495) due to lack of maintenance in v1.35. There will be a warning being generated when using it.

https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/77c59336b87354cb7826e4570180f5a7b0ebaac5/keps/sig-network/5495-deprecate-ipvs-mode-in-kube-proxy/README.md?plain=1#L190-L194

However, in the document of [`kube-proxy` configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/configure-kube-proxy), there is no such warning. **Nothing is being mentioned including the deprecation itself.** Besides, customers have no idea how AKS team will treat IPVS mode after v1.39.

Note: v1.39 is the time when sig-network decides to remove it completely or move it out of tree: (KEP-5343, in draft)
https://github.com/danwinship/enhancements/blob/b823da5a207b365e64360c3de68875593f680181/keps/sig-network/5343-kube-proxy-backends/README.md?plain=1#L214-L256

**Feedback**
Require documentation clarification and official reply about how AKS team will treat IPVS mode in future.
