- Fixed a bug where `Services` using finalizers may hold onto `ClusterIP` and/or `NodePort` allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource. ([#120623](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120623), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

- Do not remove the "batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking" finalizer from a Pod, in a corner
  case scenario, when the Pod is controlled by an API object which is not a batch Job
  (e.g. when the Pod is controlled by a custom CRD). ([#124798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124798), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
- Dropped the additional rule requirement (cronjobs/finalizers) for roles

  With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in next reconcile loop. Unfortunately if the provious existing pv has the Failed state, this patch won't take effort. It requires users to remove finalizer. ([#126043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126043), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

- Terminated Pods on a node will not be re-admitted on kubelet restart. This fixes the problem of Completed Pods awaiting for the finalizer marked as Failed after the kubelet restart.
