`status.loadBalancer` of a Service whose `spec.type` is not `LoadBalancer` was previously allowed, but any update to the `metadata` or `spec` would wipe that field. Setting this field is no longer permitted unless `spec.type` is  `LoadBalancer`.  In the very unlikely event that this has unexpected impact, you can enable the `AllowServiceLBStatusOnNonLB` feature gate, which will restore the previous behavior.  If you do need to set this, please file an issue with the Kubernetes project to help contributors understand...

- For Dynamic Resource Allocation, labels in node selectors now are validated. Invalid labels already caused runtime errors before and are unlikely to occur in practice. ([#128932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128932), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- EndpointSlice controller is now less likely to emit FailedToUpdateEndpointSlices events. ([#99345](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99345), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): fixed some small, unlikely race condition during pod scheduling. ([#124595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124595), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- A small regression in Service updates was fixed. The circumstances are so unlikely that probably nobody would ever hit it. ([#104601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104601), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

- 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]

  CIDR values (like "192.168.000.005", which should not have the extra zeros).
  Values with non-standard formats can introduce security problems, and will
  likely be forbidden in a future Kubernetes release. ([#128786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128786), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Apps, Network and Node]
