- Fixes 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 ([#120654](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120654), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Testing]

    for (FinalizerLoader loader : loaders) {
      Class<?> finalizer = loader.loadFinalizer();

        return finalizer;
      }

- 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

  In addition, when this feature is enabled, the 'details' field of 'Status' from the LIST response
  includes information that identifies the corrupt object(s).
  NOTE: unsafe deletion ignores finalizer constraints, and skips precondition checks.
  WARNING: this may break the workload associated with the resource being unsafe-deleted, if it relies on

- kube-apiserver: the `StorageObjectInUseProtection` admission plugin added the `kubernetes.io/vac-protection` finalizer to the given VolumeAttributesClass object when it is created if the feature-gate `VolumeAttributesClass` is turned on and `storage.k8s.io/v1beta1` is enabled.
