- Statefulset should wait for new replicas in tests when removing .start.ordinal ([#119761](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119761), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Fixes calculating the requeue time in the cronjob controller, which results in properly handling failed/stuck jobs ([#121540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121540), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- APIs for kubelet annotations and labels from k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/kubelet/apis are now available under k8s.io/kubelet/pkg/apis/ ([#98931](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98931), [@michaelbeaumont](https://github.com/michaelbeaumont)) [SIG Apps, Auth and Node]

- Graduated support for `minDomains` in pod topology spread constraints, to general availability.
  The `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` feature gate no longer has any effect, and the field is
  always available within the Pod and PodTemplate APIs. ([#123481](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123481), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]
