### SIG CLI

SIG CLI's main focus this release was on refactoring `kubectl` internals to improve composability, readability and testability of `kubectl` commands. Those refactors will allow the team to extract a mechanism for extensibility of kubectl -- that is, plugins -- in the next releases.

### SIG Cluster Lifecycle

- Change `pod_preemption_victims` metric from Gauge to Histogram. ([#83603](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83603), [@Tabrizian](https://github.com/Tabrizian))
- Following metrics from kubelet are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level:

- kube-proxy metrics are now marked as with the ALPHA stability level. ([#81626](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81626), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))

(kernel or iptables versions are insufficient), the kube-proxy will fall-back
to userspace mode. Kube-proxy is much more performant and less
resource-intensive in ‘iptables’ mode.
  * Node stability can be improved by reserving [resources](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/docs/proposals/node-allocatable.md) for the base operating system using --system-reserved and --kube-reserved Kubelet flags
