<p>
Non-nil pointer, function, slice, map, and channel values contain references
to underlying data which may be shared by multiple values:
</p>

<ul>
<li>
	A pointer value is a reference to the variable holding
	the pointer base type value.
</li>
<li>
	A function value contains references to the (possibly
	<a href="#Function_literals">anonymous</a>) function
	and enclosed variables.

- The test "[sig-network] EndpointSlice should have Endpoints and EndpointSlices pointing to API Server [Conformance]" only requires that there is an EndpointSlice that references the "kubernetes.default" service, it no longer requires that its named "kubernetes".

- Kubelet: close a loophole where static pods could reference arbitrary ResourceClaims. The pods created by the kubelet then don't run due to a sanity check, but such references shouldn't be allowed regardless.

* CustomResourceDefinitions: OpenAPI v3 validation schemas containing `$ref`references are no longer permitted (valid references could not be constructed previously because property ids were not permitted either). Before upgrading, ensure CRD definitions do not include those `$ref` fields. ([#58438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58438),...

    analyze programmatically. By using aliases here, we would need to handle
    potentially aliased go_binary targets and dereference to the effective
    target.
  
    The comment references an issue with `pure = select(...)` which appears
    to be resolved considering this now builds.
  
  - make kube::util::find-binary not dependent on bazel-out/ structure
  

    * Action required: change references to feature gate RequestManagement into references to APIPriorityAndFairness
