- Respect annotation size limit for server-side apply updates to the client-side apply annotation. Also, fix opt-out of this behavior by setting the client-side apply annotation to the empty string.

- New `service.kubernetes.io/topology-mode` annotation has been introduced as a replacement for the `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation.
  - `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints` annotation has been deprecated.

* StatefulSet: The deprecated `pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/initialized` annotation for interrupting the StatefulSet Pod management is now ignored. StatefulSets with this annotation set to `true` or with no value will behave just as they did in previous versions. Dormant StatefulSets with the annotation set to `false` will become active after upgrading.

- Removed tracking annotation from validation and defaulting. ([#117633](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117633), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))

  The enforcement level that allowed or denied a Pod during PodSecurity admission is now marked by the `pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce-policy` annotation.
  

- Support for the alpha seccomp annotations `seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod` and `container.seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io`, deprecated since v1.19, was partially removed. Kubelets no longer support the annotations, use of the annotations in static pods is no longer supported, and the seccomp annotations are no longer auto-populated when pods with seccomp fields are created. Auto-population of the seccomp fields...
