* Updating apiserver to return UID of the deleted resource. Clients can use this UID to verify that the resource was deleted or waiting for finalizers. ([#45600](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45600), [@nikhiljindal](https://github.com/nikhiljindal))

* 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))

* Fixes an issue where the resourceVersion of an object in a DELETE watch event was not the resourceVersion of the delete itself, but of the last update to the object. This could disrupt the ability of clients clients to re-establish watches properly. ([#58547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58547), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))...

- Give terminal phase correctly to all pods that will not be restarted. 

  In particular, assign Failed phase to pods which are deleted while pending. Also, assign a terminal 
  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
