- Fallback from OpenAPI V3 to V2 when the OpenAPI V3 document is invalid or incomplete. ([#117980](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117980), [@seans3](https://github.com/seans3)) [SIG CLI]

  The `EventsToRegister` in `EnqueueExtension` changed the return value from `ClusterEvent` to `ClusterEventWithHint`. `ClusterEventWithHint` allows each plugin to filter out more useless events via the callback function named `QueueingHintFn`.

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated / NO-OP phase `update-cluster-status`...

- Faster mount detection for linux kernel 5.10+ using openat2 speeding up pod churn rates. On Kernel versions less 5.10, it will fallback to using the original way of detecting mount points i.e by parsing /proc/mounts. ([#109217](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109217), [@manugupt1](https://github.com/manugupt1))

- Added `kubectl node drain` helper callbacks `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionStarted`
  and `OnPodDeletionOrEvictionFailed`; people extending `kubectl` can use these
  new callbacks for more granularity. Deprecated the `OnPodDeletedOrEvicted`
  node drain helper callback. ([#117502](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117502), [@adilGhaffarDev](https://github.com/adilGhaffarDev))

- E2e: tests can now register callbacks with `ginkgo.BeforeEach`, `ginkgo.AfterEach` or `ginkgo.DeferCleanup` directly after creating a framework instance and are guaranteed that their code is called after the framework is initialized and before it gets cleaned up. `ginkgo.DeferCleanup`...
