### Changed

- Critical pods can now be created in namespaces other than kube-system. To limit critical pods to the kube-system namespace, cluster admins should create an admission configuration file limiting critical pods by default, and a matching quota object in the `kube-system` namespace permitting critical pods in that namespace. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/resource-quotas/#limit-priority-class-consumption-by-default...

- When using `kubectl logs <pod-name>` and the pod is not found, the error message now includes the namespace. Previously, the message would be "Error from server (NotFound): pods "my-pod-name" not found". Now, it reflects the namespace in the message as follows: "Error from server (NotFound): pods "my-pod-name" not found in namespace "default"".
