* StatefulSet: The deprecated `pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/initialized` annotation for interrupting the StatefulSet Pod management is now ignored. StatefulSets with this annotation set to `true` or with no value will behave just as they did in previous versions. Dormant StatefulSets with the annotation set to `false` will become active after upgrading.

- Fixes a 1.29 regression in "kubeadm init" that caused a user-specified --kubeconfig file to be ignored. ([#122792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122792), [@avorima](https://github.com/avorima)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- Fixes a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in 1.27 and later

- You can now use kubeadm's `InitConfiguration` and `JoinConfiguration` to define which preflight errors will be ignored. ([#75499](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75499), [@marccarre](https://github.com/marccarre))

* Fixed a bug in the apiserver storage that could cause just-added finalizers to be ignored on an immediately following delete request, leading to premature deletion. ([#77619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77619), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

* Node affinity has moved from annotations to api fields in the pod spec.  Node affinity that is defined in the annotations will be ignored. ([#37299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37299), [@rrati](https://github.com/rrati))

* The Sysctls experimental feature has been promoted to beta (enabled by default via the `Sysctls` feature flag). PodSecurityPolicy and Pod objects now have fields for specifying and controlling sysctls. Alpha sysctl annotations will be ignored by 1.11+ kubelets. All alpha sysctl annotations in existing deployments must be converted to API fields to be effective.

### Controller Manager

* kube-controller-manager has dropped support for the `--insecure-experimental-approve-all-kubelet-csrs-for-group` flag. It is accepted in 1.7, but ignored. Instead, the csrapproving controller uses authorization checks to determine whether to approve certificate signing requests: ([#45619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45619), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))

spaces (U+0020), horizontal tabs (U+0009),

- Known issue: Job field `.spec.podFailurePolicy.rules[*].onExitCode` might be ignored if the Pod is deleted before it terminates. ([#113856](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113856), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
