## Dependencies

- kubeadm: Improved resiliency when it comes to updating the `kubeadm-config` configmap upon new control plane joins or resets. This allows for safe multiple control plane joins and/or resets. ([#76821](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76821), [@ereslibre](https://github.com/ereslibre))

- Reverts adding namespace label to admission metrics (and histogram exansion) due to cardinality issues. ([#104033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104033), [@s-urbaniak](https://github.com/s-urbaniak))

- `metadata.deletionTimestamp` is no longer moved into the future when issuing repeated DELETE requests against a resource containing a finalizer. ([#73138](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73138), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Deployment

 - Fixed a 1.18 regression in wait.Forever that skips the backoff period on the first repeat ([#90476](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90476), [@zhan849](https://github.com/zhan849)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Kube-apiserver now reports latency metric for JWT authenticator authenticate token decisions in the `apiserver_authentication_jwt_authenticator_latency_seconds` metric, labeled by jwtIssuer hash and result. ([#123225](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123225), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

- Fixes a 1.32 regression in with the ServiceAccountNodeAudienceRestriction feature where `azureFile` volumes encounter "failed to get service accoount token attributes" errors. Reverts the `ServiceAccountNodeAudienceRestriction` feature to disabled in v1.32. Refer to https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/129935 for more details.
