#### Garbage Collector
* The garbage collector now supports custom APIs added via Custom Resource Definitions
  or aggregated API servers. The garbage collector controller refreshes periodically.
  Therefore, expect a latency of about 30 seconds between when an API is added and when
  the garbage collector starts to manage it.


#### Monitoring/Prometheus

* Finalizers are now honored on custom resources, and on other resources even when garbage collection is disabled via the apiserver flag `--enable-garbage-collector=false` ([#51148](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51148), [@ironcladlou](https://github.com/ironcladlou))

* Allow kubernetes components to react to SIGTERM signal and shutdown gracefully. ([#57756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57756), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

- Fixed a bug in the garbage collector controller which could block indefinitely due to a cache sync failure. This fix allows the garbage collector to eventually continue garbage collecting other resources if a given resource cannot be listed or watched. Any objects in the unsynced resource type with owner references with `blockOwnerDeletion: true` will not be known to the garbage collector. Use of `blockOwnerDeletion` has always been best-effort and...
