* Rescheduler relies on taints, which were changed in a backward incompatible way. Rescheduler 0.3 shipped together with Kubernetes 1.6 understands the new taints and will clean up the old annotations, but Rescheduler 0.2 shipped together with Kubernetes 1.5 doesn't understand the new taints.

- Performance of the inter-pod affinity/anti-affinity feature is improved over 100X via algorithmic optimization.
- DaemonSet pods, which used to be scheduled by the DaemonSet controller, will be scheduled by the default scheduler in 1.12. This change allows DaemonSet pods to enjoy all the scheduling features of the default scheduler.

    * this enables the default scheduler to bind the Pod to the target host. If node affinity
    * of DaemonSet Pod already exists, it will be replaced.
