I don’t think create() should be deprecated.
Allocate Floating IP [1] says, “This operation does not require a request body.”
Floating IPs [2] for POST v2/{tenant_id}/os-floating-ips says, "pool
(Optional)”
Further investigation needs to be done before considering deprecating create().
It’s also weird to me that a user needs to know what pool they’re allocating
from. The pool param seems like an implementation detail. In most cases the
user simply isn’t going to care. They just want a Floating IP.
