* **Kubelet with the Docker-CRI implementation**
  * The Docker-CRI implementation is enabled by default.
  * It is not compatible with containers created by older Kubelets. It is
    recommended to drain your node before upgrade. If you choose to perform

- Kubernetes now includes an alpha field, `AllowWatchBookmarks`, in ListOptions for requesting the watching of bookmarks from apiserver. The implementation in apiserver is hidden behind the feature gate `WatchBookmark`. ([#74074](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74074), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

### Staging Repositories

- QueueingHint implementation for NodeAffinity is reverted because we found potential scenarios where events that make Pods schedulable could be missed. ([#122327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122327), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

    * Add the 'service.kubernetes.io/service-proxy-name' label to a Service to disable the kube-proxy service proxy implementation.
* kubectl: `-A` can now be used as a shortcut for `--all-namespaces` ([#72006](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72006), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases.
