The apiserver also now takes an optional flag "--maximum-startup-sequence-duration". This allows you to explicitly define an upper bound on the apiserver startup sequences before healthz begins to fail. By keeping the kubelet liveness initial delay short, this can enable quick kubelet recovery as soon as we have a boot sequence which has not completed in our expected time frame, despite lack of completion from longer boot sequences (like RBAC). Kube-apiserver behavior when the value of this flag...

- Ginkgo: when e2e tests are invoked through ginkgo-e2e.sh, the default now is to use color escape sequences only when connected to a terminal. `GINKGO_NO_COLOR=y/n` can be used to override that default.

- In text format, log messages that previously used quoting to prevent multi-line output (for example, text="some \"quotation\", a\nline break") will now be printed with more readable multi-line output without the escape sequences.

- Ensure Job status updates are batched by 1s. This fixes an unlikely scenario when a sequence of immediately 
  completing pods could trigger a sequence of non-batched Job status updates. ([#118470](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118470), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

- StreamWatcher now calls HandleCrash at appropriate sequence. ([#93108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93108), [@lixiaobing1](https://github.com/lixiaobing1))
