 - Reduced state change noise when volume expansion fails. Also mark certain failures as infeasible.
  
  ACTION REQUIRED:  If you are using the `RecoverVolumeExpansionFailure` alpha feature gate
  then after upgrading to this release, you need to update some objects.

- Removed extra pod creation expectations when daemonset fails to create pods in batches. ([#74856](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74856), [@draveness](https://github.com/draveness))

  - A server-side apply request that makes unrelated changes to an object which has duplicate items in a keyed list no longer fails, and leaves the existing duplicate items as-is.
