- Ensure service deleted when the Azure resource group has been deleted ([#100944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100944), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

  - A namespaced object with an ownerReference referencing a uid of a namespaced kind which does not exist in the same namespace is now consistently treated as though that owner does not exist, and the child object is deleted.

- The `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` on pod specs and container probes should not be negative. Negative values of `TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` will be treated as the value `1s` on the delete path. Immutable field validation will be relaxed in order to update negative values. In a future release, negative values will not be permitted. ([#98866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98866), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming))

worry, the operation succeeded except for the part where the new replication controller is renamed back to the old name. You can just do another rolling update using kubectl 1.4 or higher to change the name back: look for a replication controller that has the original name plus a random suffix.

Unfortunately, there is a much rarer second possible failure mode: the replication controller gets renamed to the old name, but there is a duplicated set of pods in the cluster. kubectl will not report...
