#### Other deprecations:

- Kubeadm: remove the `--port` flag from the manifest for the kube-scheduler since the flag has been a NO-OP since 1.23 and insecure serving was removed for the component. ([#105034](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105034), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))...

- Component-base: make the validation logic about LeaderElectionConfiguration consistent between component-base and client-go ([#111758](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111758), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]

MUST read this before you upgrade)

- Stopped accepting component configuration for `kube-proxy` and `kubelet` during `kubeadm upgrade plan --config`. This was a legacy behavior that was not well supported for upgrades and could be used only at the plan stage to determine if the configuration for these components stored in the cluster needs manual version migration. In the future, `kubeadm` will attempt alternative component config migration approaches. ([#120788](https://github.com/kube...

- Kubeadm: remove the deprecated flag `--insecure-port` from the kube-apiserver manifest that kubeadm manages. The flag had no effect since 1.20, since the insecure serving of the component was disabled in the same version. ([#102121](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102121), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu))

- Component owner can configure the allowlist of metric label with flag '--allow-metric-labels'. ([#99385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99385), [@YoyinZyc](https://github.com/YoyinZyc)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Release]

* Reduce amount of noise in Stackdriver Logging, generated by the event-exporter component in the fluentd-gcp addon. ([#48712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48712), [@crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))
