### Bug or Regression

- Fix Azure file share not deleted issue when the namespace is deleted ([#97417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97417), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

 - For all kinds in the API group version, a spec.selector default value is no longer
 available, because it's incompatible with `kubectl
 apply` and strategic merge patch. You must explicitly set the spec.selector value
 in your manifest. An object with a spec.selector value that does not match the labels in
 its spec.template is invalid.

 - Selector mutation is disabled for all kinds in the

- To avoid soft-deleted pods incorrectly affecting scale up replica count calculations, the HPA controller will stop counting soft-deleted pods for scaling purposes. ([#67067](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67067), [@moonek](https://github.com/moonek))

- The scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, it could miss some cluster events,
  and it could end up Pods rejected by Extenders stuck in unschedulable pod pool in 5min in the worst-case scenario.
  Now, the scheduling queue notices extenders' failures and requeue Pods rejected by Extenders appropriately. ([#122045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122045), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Kube-apiserver: fixed a bug returning inconsistent results from list requests which set a field or label selector and set a paging limit ([#94002](https://github.com/kubernetes/...

- The scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, it could miss some cluster events,
  and it could end up Pods rejected by Extenders stuck in unschedulable pod pool in 5min in the worst-case scenario.
  Now, the scheduling queue notices extenders' failures and requeue Pods rejected by Extenders appropriately. ([#122044](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122044), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

#### **API Server**

* Scheduler skips pods that use a PVC that either does not exist or is being deleted. ([#55957](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55957), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane))
* Fixed a garbage collection race condition where objects with ownerRefs pointing to cluster-scoped objects could be deleted incorrectly. ([#57211](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57211), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### API Change

* Deployment will stop adding pod-template-hash labels/selector to ReplicaSets and Pods it adopts. Resources created by Deployments are not affected (will still have pod-template-hash labels/selector).
