### Other notable changes

  - The label applied to control-plane nodes "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release after a GA deprecation period.
  - Introduce a new label "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane" that will be applied in parallel to "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" until the removal of the "node-role.kubernetes.io/master" label.

`settings/v1alpha1`, and `scheduling/v1alpha1` APIs are disabled by default.

* The `system:node` role is no longer automatically granted to the `system:nodes` group in new clusters. The role gives broad read access to resources, including secrets and configmaps. Use the `Node` authorization mode to authorize the nodes in new clusters. To continue providing the `system:node` role to the members of the `system:nodes` group, create an installation-specific `ClusterRoleBinding` in the installation....

`master` in labels and taints. For new clusters, the label `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` will no longer be added to control plane nodes, only the label `node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane` will be added. For clusters that are being upgraded to 1.24 with `kubeadm upgrade apply`, the command will remove the label `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` from existing control plane nodes. For new clusters, both the old taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule` and new taint `node-role.kuberne...

### SIG Autoscaling

* A cluster-autoscaler ClusterRole is added to cover only the functionality required by Cluster Autoscaler and avoid abusing system:cluster-admin role. Cloud providers other than GCE might want to update their deployments or sample yaml files to reuse the role created via add-on.
