- Fixed a regression since `v1.27.0` in the scheduler framework when running score plugins. 
  The `skippedScorePlugins` number might be greater than `enabledScorePlugins`, 
  so when initializing a slice the `cap(len(skippedScorePlugins) - len(enabledScorePlugins))` is negative, 

- kube-apiserver: a new `--requestheader-uid-headers`...

- Graceful node shutdown, allow the actual inhibit delay to be greater than the expected inhibit delay. ([#103137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103137), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))

- The Originating Identity feature, which lets the broker know which user that performed an action, is now GA.
- [Namespaced Brokers](https://svc-cat.io/docs/namespaced-broker-resources/), which enable operators to install a broker into a namespace instead of the cluster level, reached GA.

### Bug or Regression

- Client-go: fixes potential data races retrying requests using a custom io.Reader body; with this fix, only requests with no body or with string / []byte / runtime.Object bodies can be retried ([#113933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113933), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Removed the incorrect warning event `FileSystemResizeFailed` during pod creation if it uses a readonly volume and the capacity of the volume is greater than or equal to its requested storage.
   ([#122508](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122508), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
- Restored the `--verify-only` function in code generation wrappers.

- Kubectl/drain: add skip-wait-for-delete-timeout option. If a pod’s  `DeletionTimestamp` is older than N seconds, skip waiting for the pod.  Seconds must be greater than 0 to skip.
