As I understand the plan, yes. My understanding has been that the
newforms-admin is about removing the dependency on oldforms. The merge
of newforms-admin will be the point at which oldforms gets removed
permanently. I have a recollection that this has been stated in the
past as part of the grand plan, butI can't put my finger on a
reference to confirm this at the moment.

It's mostly just a matter of managing the change. We'd rather tell
people _once_ that there are a bunch of changes that need to be made,
rather than trickle lots of little changes, especially when it will be
a big change like deprecating newforms.
