- kubeadm: make sure the extra environment variables written to a kubeadm managed PodSpec are sorted alpha-numerically by the environment variable name. ([#126743](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126743), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Two changes to the `/debug/api_priority_and_fairness/dump_priority_levels` endpoint of API Priority and Fairness: added total number of dispatched, timed-out, rejected and cancelled requests; output now sorted by `PriorityLevelName`. ([#112393](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112393), [@borgerli](https://github.com/borgerli))
- Unlocked the `CSIMigrationvSphere` feature gate.

- If the user specifies an invalid timeout in the request URL, the request will be aborted with an HTTP 400.

- `kubelet` will ensure /etc/hosts file is mode 0644 regardless of umask. ([#113209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113209), [@luozhiwenn](https://github.com/luozhiwenn))

- Multi-line annotations injected via downward API files will no longer be sorted, scrambling their information. ([#65992](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65992), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

The importing of packages, by construction, guarantees that there
can be no cyclic initialization dependencies.
More precisely:

Given the list of all packages, sorted by import path, in each step the first
uninitialized package in the list for which all imported packages (if any) are
already initialized is <a href="#Package_initialization">initialized</a>.
