- When the `RetryGenerateName` feature gate is enabled on the kube-apiserver,
  create requests using generateName are retried automatically by the apiserver when the generated name conflicts with an existing resource name, up to a max limit of 7 retries.

- CRD validation schemas should not specify `metadata` fields other than `name` and `generateName`. A schema will not be considered structural (and therefore ready for future features) if `metadata` is specified in any other way.

- Promote HonorPVReclaimPolicy to beta and enable the feature-gate by default ([#124842](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124842), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps, Storage and Testing]
- Promoted `generateName` retries to beta, and made the `NameGenerationRetries` feature gate
  enabled by default.

- If a conflict occurs when creating an object with `generateName`, the server now returns an "AlreadyExists" error with a retry option. ([#104699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104699), [@vincepri](https://github.com/vincepri))

- Fixed a bug where unwanted fields were being returned from a `create --dry-run`: uid and, if generateName was used, name. ([#107088](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107088), [@joejulian](https://github.com/joejulian))

* The names generated for ControllerRevision and ReplicaSet are consistent with the GenerateName functionality of the API Server and will not contain "bad words". ([#51538](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51538), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))
