I'm deploying separate internal and external ingress controllers. I have set isDefaultClass: false on the second, and given it a unique ingresClass name in providers: kubernetesCRD: ingressClass:

My question is how to specify this ingressClass in my IngressRoute resources? The docs mention using the "[kubernetes.io/ingress.class](http://kubernetes.io/ingress.class)" annotation here: [Kubernetes IngressRoute & Traefik CRD - Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/kubernetes-crd/#ingressclass)

however this annotation is considered deprecated: [Ingress | Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#deprecated-annotation)

Is this still the best way to specify an ingressClass?

Thanks!
