### Removing deprecated flags in kubeadm

For the 1.8 release, SIG Scheduling extended the concept of cluster sharing by introducing
pod priority and pod preemption. These features allow mixing various types of workloads in a single cluster, and help reach

These features are in alpha. SIG Scheduling also improved the internal APIs for scheduling and made them easier for other components and external schedulers to use.
