`wait.NewExponentialBackoffManager` and `wait.NewJitteringBackoffManager` functions have been marked as deprecated.  Callers should switch to using the `Backoff{...}.DelayWithReset(clock, resetInterval)` method and must set the `Steps` field when using `Factor`. As a short term change, callers may use the `Timer()` method on the `BackoffManager` until the backoff managers are deprecated and removed. Please see the godoc of the deprecated functions for examples of how to replace usage of this function. ...

- Pod status updates faster when reacting on probe results. The first readiness probe will be called faster when startup probes succeeded, which will make Pod status as ready faster. ([#98376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98376), [@matthyx](https://github.com/matthyx))

### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]
