* Remove outdated net.experimental.kubernetes.io/proxy-mode and net.beta.kubernetes.io/proxy-mode annotations from kube-proxy. ([#40585](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40585), [@cblecker](https://github.com/cblecker))

Type unification is controlled by a <i>matching mode</i>, which may
be <i>exact</i> or <i>loose</i>.
As unification recursively descends a composite type structure,
the matching mode used for elements of the type, the <i>element matching mode</i>,
remains the same as the matching mode except when two types are unified for

- Kube-proxy no longer falls back from ipvs mode to iptables mode if you ask it to do ipvs but the system is not correctly configured. Instead, it will just exit with an error. ([#111806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111806), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

    * If you are not switching kube-proxy between different modes, this change should not require any action.

- When using IPV6-only, be sure to use `proxy-mode=iptables` as `proxy-mode=ipvs` is known to not work. ([#68437](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/68437))

## Deprecations

- kube-apiserver

- kube-proxy no longer automatically cleans up network rules created by running kube-proxy in other modes. If you are switching the kube-proxy mode (EG: iptables to IPVS), you will need to run `kube-proxy --cleanup`, or restart the worker node (recommended) before restarting kube-proxy. If you are not switching kube-proxy between different modes, this change should not require any action.
