- Setting a mirror pod's phase to Succeeded or Failed can prevent the corresponding static pod from restarting due mutation of a Kubelet cache. ([#116482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116482), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node]

## Dependencies

### Added

- The following features are unconditionally enabled and the corresponding `--feature-gates` flags have been removed: `PodPriority`, `TaintNodesByCondition`, `ResourceQuotaScopeSelectors` and `ScheduleDaemonSetPods` ([#86210](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86210), [@draveness](https://github.com/draveness))...

* Fix a bug in the IPVS proxier where virtual servers are not cleaned up even though the corresponding Service object was deleted. ([#80942](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80942), [@gongguan](https://github.com/gongguan))

- Take the context as the first argument of Schedule. ([#82119](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82119), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- Fixed an issue that the correct PluginConfig.Args is not passed to the corresponding PluginFactory in kube-scheduler when multiple PluginConfig items are defined. ([#82483](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82483), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace))

* `cluster/kube-up.sh` now provisions a Kubelet config file for GCE via the metadata server. This file is installed by the corresponding GCE init scripts. ([#62183](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62183), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))

- Setting a mirror pod's phase to Succeeded or Failed can prevent the corresponding static pod from restarting due mutation of a Kubelet cache. ([#116482](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116482), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG Node]

* federation: Adding support for DeleteOptions.OrphanDependents for federated replicasets and deployments.
