- Replaced deprecated package `k8s.io/utils/pointer` with `k8s.io/utils/ptr` for ./test/e2e and ./test/utils. ([#132763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132763), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG Autoscaling and Testing]

- E2e.test: removed the  `--viper-config` flag. If you were previously using this to pass flags to `e2e.test` via a file, you will need to pass them directly on the command line, e.g. `e2e.test --e2e-output-dir`. ([#102598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102598), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- The deprecated mondo `kubernetes-test` tarball is no longer built. Users running Kubernetes e2e tests should use the `kubernetes-test-portable` and `kubernetes-test-{OS}-{ARCH}` tarballs instead. ([#83093](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83093), [@ixdy](https://github.com/ixdy))

* test/e2e/e2e.test: ([#69105](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69105), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
   * -viper-config can be used to set also the options defined by command line flags
   * the default config file is "e2e.yaml/toml/json/..." and the test starts when no such config is found (as before) but if -viper-config is used, the config file must exist

* kube-apiserver: the `Priority` admission plugin is now enabled by default when using `--enable-admission-plugins`....
