- Kubeadm: deprecated the kubeadm `RootlessControlPlane` feature gate (previously alpha), given that the core K8s `UserNamespacesSupport` feature gate graduated to beta in 1.30.
  Once core Kubernetes support for user namespaces is generally available and kubeadm has started to support running the control plane in userns pods, the kubeadm `RootlessControlPlane` feature gate will be removed entirely.

cpu assignment (i.e. Containers with integer CPU `requests` in pods with `Guaranteed` QOS) will not have cfs quota enforced. Because this fix changes a long-established behavior, users observing a regressions can use the `DisableCPUQuotaWithExclusiveCPUs` feature gate (enabled by default) to restore the previous behavior. Please file an issue if you encounter problems and have to use the Feature Gate.

- Newly provisioned PVs by vSphere in-tree plugin will no longer have the beta FailureDomain label. vSphere volume plugin will start to have GA topology label instead.

  - To disable RemoteCommand over WebSockets for kubectl, the environment variable feature gate must be explicitly set to `false`: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS=false`.
   ([#123281](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123281), [@seans3](https://github.com/seans3))

- The feature gate was mentioned as `csiMigrationRBD` where it should have been `CSIMigrationRBD` to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as `CSIMigrationRBD`.
  

## Urgent Upgrade Notes 

### (No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

- 'The `IPv6DualStack` feature gate for external cloud providers was removed.
  (The feature became GA in 1.23 and the gate was removed for all other
  components several releases ago.) If you were still manually

- This PR will introduce a feature gate CSIServiceAccountToken with two additional fields in `CSIDriverSpec`. ([#93130](https://github.com...

- Added `UserNamespacesPodSecurityStandards` feature gate to enable user namespace support for Pod Security Standards.
  Enabling this feature will modify all Pod Security Standard rules to allow setting: `spec[.*].securityContext.[runAsNonRoot,runAsUser]`.
  This feature gate should only be enabled if all nodes in the cluster support the user namespace feature and have it enabled.

  - The `/swaggerapi/*` schema docs, deprecated since 1.7, have been removed in favor of the /openapi/v2 schema docs. ([#72924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72924), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
