- DRA device taints: `DeviceTaintRule` status provides information about the rule, including whether Pods still need to be evicted (`EvictionInProgress` condition). The newly added `None` effect can be used to preview what a `DeviceTaintRule` would do if it used the `NoExecute` effect and to taint devices (`device health`) without immediately affecting scheduling or running Pods. ([#134152](https://gith...

- DRA: Device taints enable DRA drivers or admins to mark device as unusable, which prevents allocating them. Pods may also get evicted at runtime if a device becomes unusable, depending on the severity of the taint and whether the claim tolerates the taint.
