- If a pvc has an empty storageClassName, persistentvolume controller won't try to assign a default StorageClass ([#122704](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122704), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

of node affinity use the new syntax. Documentation is [here](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/node-selection/) (see section “Alpha feature in Kubernetes v1.2: Node Affinity“). Design doc is [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/docs/design/nodeaffinity.md).

- Give terminal phase correctly to all pods that will not be restarted. 

  In particular, assign Failed phase to pods which are deleted while pending. Also, assign a terminal 
  phase (Succeeded or Failed, depending on the exit statuses of the pod containers) to pods which

The intermediate CA certificate must be appended to each signed certificate for this to work correctly.
