- Added `DisruptionTarget` condition to the pod preempted by kubelet to make room for a critical pod. ([#117586](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117586), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))

* A new `TaintNodesByCondition` admission plugin taints newly created Node objects as "not ready", to fix a race condition that could cause pods to be scheduled on new nodes before their taints were updated to accurately reflect their reported conditions. This admission plugin is enabled by default if the `TaintNodesByCondition` feature is enabled. ([#73097](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73097), [@bsalamat](https:/...
