- As of v1.25, the PodSecurity `restricted` level no longer requires pods that set .spec.os.name="windows" to also set Linux-specific securityContext fields. If a 1.25+ cluster has unsupported [out-of-skew](https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/#kubelet) nodes prior to v1.23 and wants to ensure namespaces enforcing the `restricted` policy continue to require Linux-specific securityContext fields on all pods, ensure a version of the `restricted` prior...

## Urgent Upgrade Notes 

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

  Here's the breaking change in `EnqueueExtension` in the scheduling framework. 

- Certain `requestBody` parameters in the OpenAPI `v3` are now correctly marked as required. ([#120735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120735), [@Jefftree](https://github.com/Jefftree))
