- Fix regression in statefulset conversion which prevented applying a statefulset multiple times. ([#87721](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87721), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Fixed a regression since 1.24 in the scheduling framework when overriding MultiPoint plugins (e.g. default plugins).
  The incorrect loop logic might lead to a plugin being loaded multiple times, consequently preventing any Pod from being scheduled, which is unexpected. ([#122370](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122370), [@caohe](https://github.com/caohe)) [SIG Scheduling]
