- Fixed a situation when, sometimes, the scheduler incorrectly placed a pod in the `unschedulable` queue instead of the `backoff` queue. This happened when some plugin previously declared the pod as `unschedulable` and then in a later attempt encounters some other error. Scheduling of that pod then got delayed by up to five minutes, after which periodic flushing moved the pod back into the `active` queue.

- Resolves a performance regression in default 1.31+ configurations, related to the ConsistentListFromCache feature, where rapid create / update API requests across different namespaces encounter increased latency.

* kubelets are no longer allowed to delete their own Node API object. Prior to 1.11, in rare circumstances related to cloudprovider node ID changes, kubelets would attempt to delete/recreate their Node object at startup. If a legacy kubelet encounters this situation, a cluster admin can remove the Node object: `kubectl delete node/<nodeName>` ([#62818](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62818), [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese))
