As they are referring to it as a legacy client that means they will drop it in the future. They plan to retire the whole silverlight portal and legacy client but still have some last bits of functionality previously available in Silverlight to move over to Azure. The What’s New in Intune page should keep you informed as they backfill this last functionality.

Thanks for the reply Chris,
Yeah, from further research does show that MS wants us to move to MDM. Just that I found the Silverlight console seems to be a bit more mature. For example, it groups things into different tabs and makes it easier to navigate. The MDM interface seems to be a bit all over the place.
I feel that MS is still building various function to the Intune Admin Interface but at the same time not shutting down the Silverlight version.
Cheers,
