  phase (Succeeded or Failed, depending on the exit statuses of the pod containers) to pods which
  are deleted while running.
  
  This fixes the issue for jobs using pod failure policy (with JobPodFailurePolicy and PodDisruptionConditions 
  feature gates enabled) that their pods could get stuck in the pending phase when deleted.
  

- Fix control plane hosts rolling upgrade causing thundering herd of LISTs on etcd leading to control plane unavailability. ([#86430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86430), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery, Node and Testing]

- Removed leading zeros from the etcd member ID in kubeadm log messages. ([#117919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117919), [@dlipovetsky](https://github.com/dlipovetsky)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Fix the code is leaking the defaulting between unrelated pod instances. ([#103284](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103284), [@kebe7jun](https://github.com/kebe7jun)) [SIG CLI]

* Action required: validation rule on metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name needs to contain at least three segments separated by dots. If you create objects with pending initializers, (i.e., not relying on apiserver adding pending initializers according to initializerconfiguration), you need to update the initializer name in existing objects and in configuration files to comply...

* Fixed a bug in the apiserver storage that could cause just-added finalizers to be ignored on an immediately following delete request, leading to premature deletion. ([#77619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77619), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))

* [Action required] The validation rule for metadata.initializers.pending[x].name is tightened. The initializer name must contain at least three segments, separated by dots. You can create objects with pending initializers and not rely on the API server to add pending initializers according to `initializerConfiguration`. If you do so, update the initializer name in the existing objects and the configuration files to...
