- The DynamicKubeletConfig feature gate is deprecated. The functionality is still accessible by using the kubeadm alpha kubelet enable-dynamic command.
  - The command `kubeadm config print-defaults` is deprecated in favor of `kubeadm config print init-defaults` and `kubeadm config print join-defaults` ([#69617](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69617), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

### **Scheduling**

*   Taint key `unreachable` is now in GA.
*   Taint key `notReady` is changed to `not-ready`, and is also now in GA.
*   These changes are automatically updated for taints. Tolerations for these taints must be updated manually. Specifically, you must:
    *   Change `node.alpha.kubernetes.io/notReady` to `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready`

brings additional power to both local storage and Persistent Volumes. [Mount namespace propagation](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/432) allows a container to mount a volume as rslave so that host mounts can be seen inside the container, or as rshared so that mounts made inside a container can be seen by the host. (Note that this is [not supported on Windows](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60275).) [Local Ephemeral Storage Capacity Isolation](https://github.com/k...

- Rename metrics `etcd_object_counts` to `apiserver_storage_object_counts` and mark it as stable. The original `etcd_object_counts` metrics name is marked as "Deprecated" and will be removed in the future.

- The `scheduling_algorithm_predicate_evaluation_seconds` and
  `scheduling_algorithm_priority_evaluation_seconds` metrics are deprecated, replaced by `framework_extension_point_duration_seconds[extension_point="Filter"]` and `framework_extension_point_duration_seconds[extension_point="Score"]`.

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

For example, a plugin that implements Score and Filter extensions can be simultaneously enabled for both.
This means entire plugins can be enabled and disabled without having to manually edit individual extension point settings.
These extension points can now be abstracted away due to their irrelevance for most users.
