- K8s.io/component-base/logs: usage of the pflag values in a normal Go flag set led to panics when printing the help message ([#114680](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114680), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Instrumentation]

For the 1.8 release, SIG Scheduling extended the concept of cluster sharing by introducing
pod priority and pod preemption. These features allow mixing various types of workloads in a single cluster, and help reach

These features are in alpha. SIG Scheduling also improved the internal APIs for scheduling and made them easier for other components and external schedulers to use.

- `--log-flush-frequency` had no effect in several commands or was missing. Help and warning texts were not always using the right format for a command (`add_dir_header` instead of `add-dir-header`). Fixing this included cleaning up flag handling in component-base/logs: that package no longer adds flags to the global flag sets....
