- Slow container runtime initialization no longer causes the System WatchDog to kill the kubelet. The Device Manager was treated as unhealthy until it began listening on its port.

says `go` `1.20`, then the program defaults to `panicnil=1`,
matching Go 1.20 instead of Go 1.21.

Because this method of setting GODEBUG defaults was introduced only in Go 1.21,
programs listing versions of Go earlier than Go 1.20 are configured to match Go 1.20,
