in the `kubelet` on driver mismatch (kubeadm clusters should be using the `systemd` driver).

Ideally such detection / coordination should be on the side of CRI implementers and the kubelet (tracked [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/99808)). Please see the [page](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/configure-cgroup-driver/) on how...

- Added Coordinated Leader Election as Alpha under the `CoordinatedLeaderElection` feature gate. With the feature enabled, the control plane can use LeaseCandidate objects (coordination.k8s.io/v1alpha1 API group) to participate in a leader election and let the kube-apiserver select the best instance according to some strategy.

* `deployments/rollback` is now passed through validation/admission controllers ([#72271](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72271), [@jhrv](https://github.com/jhrv))
