* Mechanism of adding `federation domain maps` to kube-dns deployment via `--federations` flag is superseded by adding/updating `federations` key in `kube-system/kube-dns` configmap. If user is using kubefed tool to join cluster federation, adding federation domain maps to kube-dns is already taken care by `kubefed join` and does not need further action.

- Changed NodeToStatusMap from a map to a struct and exposed methods to access the entries. Added absentNodesStatus, which informs the status of nodes that are absent in the map. For developers of out-of-tree PostFilter plugins, ensure to update the usage of NodeToStatusMap. Additionally, NodeToStatusMap should eventually be renamed to NodeToStatusReader....

  - Deletion of remote endpoints will be triggered only for terminated endpoints (those present in the old endpoints map but not in the new endpoints map), whereas previously it was also done for terminating endpoints.

- Kubernetes 1.12 includes a large number of metadata agent improvements, including expanding the metadata agent's access to all API groups and removing metadata agent config maps in favor of command line flags. It also includes improvements to the logging agent, such as multiple fixes and adjustments.
