### Bug or Regression

- Fix a scheduler preemption issue where the victim pod was not deleted due to incorrect status patching. This issue occurred when the preemptor and victim pods had different QoS classes in their status, causing the preemption to fail entirely. ([#126694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126694), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei)) [SIG Scheduling]

- The following roles have had `Watch` added to them (prefixed with `system:controller:`):
  
  - `cronjob-controller`
  - `endpoint-controller`
  - `endpointslice-controller`
  - `endpointslicemirroring-controller`
  - `horizontal-pod-autoscaler`

  `EndpointSlices` of the `service` indicated by the `APIServer`, rather than
  using Endpoints.
  
  If you were using the aggregated API server feature, and you were writing out
  the endpoints for it by hand (rather than letting kube-controller-manager
  generate `Endpoints` and `EndpointSlices` for it automatically based on the
  Service definition), then you should write out an EndpointSlice object rather

- Updated kube-apiserver's priority & fairness work estimator such that 'max seats' is MIN(0.15 x nominalCL, nominalCL / handSize)
  
  This fixes a bug where clients with requests using hand size x max seats greater than the nominal concurrency limit can starve other requests in the same priority level. ([#118601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118601), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

reclaim policy has been deprecated. Users should use dynamic provisioning instead. ([#59063](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59063), [@ayushpateria](https://github.com/ayushpateria))

* kube-apiserver flag --tls-ca-file has had no effect for some time.  It is now deprecated and slated for removal in 1.11.  If you are specifying this flag, you must remove it from your launch config before upgrading to 1.11. ([#58968](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58968), [@...

- kube-scheduler implemented scheduling hints for the `NodeUnschedulable` plugin. The scheduling hints allowed the scheduler to only retry scheduling a Pod that had been previously rejected by the `NodeSchedulable` plugin if a new Node or a Node update had set `.spec.unschedulable` to false.
   ([#122334](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122334), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

- Fixes a bug that could result in the EndpointSlice controller unnecessarily updating EndpointSlices associated with a Service that had Topology Aware Hints enabled. ([#105267](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105267), [@llhuii](https://github.com/llhuii))

* scheduler: Fix issue were a new pod with affinity gets stuck at `creating` because the node had been deleted but the pod still exists. ([#56835](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56835), [@wenlxie](https://github.com/wenlxie))
