- increases the weight of user specifiable priorities.
  The weights of following priority plugins are increased
    - `TaintTolerations` to 3 - as leveraging node tainting to group nodes in the cluster is becoming a widely-adopted practice
    - `NodeAffinity` to 2
    - `InterPodAffinity` to 2
  

        *   `CategoryEncoding` no longer supports `adapt`, `IntegerLookup` now
            supports equivalent functionality. `max_tokens` argument renamed to
            `num_tokens`.
        *   `Discretization` added `num_bins` argument for learning bins
            boundaries through calling `adapt` on a dataset. Renamed `bins`
            argument to `bin_boundaries` for specifying bins without `adapt`.
    *   Improvements to model saving/loading:

  Users who maintain controllers which relied on the fact that pods with RestartPolicy=Always
  never enter the Succeeded phase may need to adapt their controllers. This is because as a consequence of 
  the change pods which use RestartPolicy=Always may end up in the Succeeded phase in two scenarios: pod
