- Updated `etcd` version to `3.5.8`. ([#117335](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117335), [@kkkkun](https://github.com/kkkkun))

- Updated cri-tools to [v1.23.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools/releases/tag/v1.23.0). ([#107604](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107604), [@saschagrunert](https://github.com/saschagrunert))

### **Scheduling**

*   Taint key `unreachable` is now in GA.
*   Taint key `notReady` is changed to `not-ready`, and is also now in GA.
*   These changes are automatically updated for taints. Tolerations for these taints must be updated manually. Specifically, you must:
    *   Change `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/notReady` to `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready`

        * Garbage collection is enabled for the Store
        * The resource being updated has no finalizers
        * The resource being updated has a non-nil DeletionGracePeriodSeconds equal to 0
    * With this fix, Custom Resource instances now also support delete-on-update behavior under the same circumstances.
