#### CLI Changes

- [alpha] `kubectl` plugins: `kubectl` now allows binary extensibility. You can extend the default set of `kubectl` commands by writing plugins
  that provide new subcommands. Refer to the documentation for more information.

- `kubectl rollout` and `rollback` now support StatefulSet.

- `kubeadm`: speedup init by 0s or 20s. kubelet-start phase is now after etcd
  and control-plane phases, removing a race condition between kubelet looking for
  static pod manifests and kubeadm writing them. ([#117984](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117984), [@champtar](https://github.com/champtar))
