- In a future release, kubelet will no longer create the CSI NodePublishVolume target directory, in accordance with the CSI specification. CSI drivers may need to be updated accordingly to properly create and process the target path. ([#75535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/75535)) [SIG Storage]

Also `e2e_scheduling_duration_seconds` is renamed to `scheduling_attempt_duration_seconds` and the latter is graduated to stable. (#105941, @rezakrimi) [SIG Instrumentation, Scheduling and Testing]

- For CSI drivers, kubelet no longer creates the target_path for NodePublishVolume in accordance with the CSI spec. Kubelet also no longer checks if staging and target paths are mounts or corrupted. CSI drivers need to be idempotent and do any necessary mount verification. ([#88759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88759), [@andyzhangx](https:...

* Clients may now request that API objects are converted to the `v1.Table` and `v1.PartialObjectMetadata` forms for generic access to objects. ([#77448](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77448), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))
