### Feature

- A `system-cluster-critical` pod should not get a low OOM Score. 
  

- Upon successful authorization check, an impersonated user is added to the system:authenticated group.
  system:anonymous when impersonated is added to the system:unauthenticated group. ([#94408](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94408), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery and Testing]

### Introducing Graceful Node Shutdown (Alpha)

The `GracefulNodeShutdown` feature is now in Alpha. This allows kubelet to be aware of node system shutdowns, enabling graceful termination of pods during a system shutdown. This feature can be [enabled through feature gate](https://docs.k8s.io/concepts/architecture/nodes/#graceful-node-shutdown).

UnversionedKubeletConfigMap. When this feature is enabled kubeadm will start using a new naming format for the ConfigMap where it stores the KubeletConfiguration structure. The old format included the Kubernetes version - "kube-system/kubelet-config-1.22", while the new format does not - "kube-system/kubelet-config". A similar formatting change is done for the related RBAC rules. The old format is now DEPRECATED and will be removed after the feature graduates to GA. When writing the ConfigMap kubeadm (init, upgrade...
