- Hashing of KeyID in Logs
  
  This release adds a feature to hash the `KeyID` values in the logs. The `KeyID` values are sensitive information that should not be exposed in plain text in the logs. By hashing the `KeyID` values, we can protect the confidentiality of the data while still being able to log the necessary information.

- A deprecated flag `--pod-max-in-unschedulable-pods-duration` was initially planned to be removed in v1.26, but we had to change this plan. We found [an issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/110175) in which Pods can be stuck in the unschedulable pod pool for 5 min, and using this flag is the only workaround for this issue. 

- QueueingHint implementation for NodeAffinity is reverted because we found potential scenarios where events that make Pods schedulable could be missed. ([#122327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122327), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
