- 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))

- Only declare Job as finished after removing all Pod finalizers to avoid orphan Pods ([#119163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119163), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
