- A customizable `OrderedScoreFuncs()` function was introduced. Out-of-tree plugins 
  that used the scheduler's preemption interface could implement this function
  for custom preemption preferences or return nil to keep the current behavior. ([#121867](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121867), [@lianghao208](https://github.com/lianghao208))

## Dependencies

### Added

* Fixes a bug where if an error was returned that was not an `autorest.DetailedError` we would return `"not found", nil` which caused nodes to go to `NotReady` state. ([#57484](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57484), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))
