- `kubectl apply` now coerces `null` values for labels and annotations in manifests to empty string values, 
consistent with typed JSON metadata decoding, rather than dropping all labels and annotations ([#129257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129257), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery]
