It is illegal to define a label that is never used.

- The `volume_zone` plugin will consider `beta` labels as `GA` labels during the scheduling
  process. Therefore, if the values of the labels are the same, PVs with `beta` labels
  can also be scheduled to nodes with `GA` labels. ([#118923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118923), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

 - Newly provisioned PVs by gce-pd will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. gce-pd volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead. ([#98700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98700),...

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to GA. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`).

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to Beta. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings by default, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`).

  // Selector is a label query over pods that should match the Replicas count.
  // If Selector is empty, it is defaulted to the labels present on the Pod template.
  // Label keys and values that must match in order to be controlled by this replication
  // controller, if empty defaulted to labels on Pod template.

* The ScaleIO volume plugin can now read the SDC GUID value as node label scaleio.sdcGuid; if binary drv_cfg is not installed, the plugin will still work properly; if node label not found, it defaults to drv_cfg if installed.

- '`metav1.LabelSelectors` specified in API objects are now validated to ensure
  they do not contain invalid label values that will error at time of use. Existing
  invalid objects can be updated, but new objects are required to contain valid
  label selectors.'
