* The GitRepo volume type is deprecated. To provision a container with a git repo, mount an `EmptyDir` into an `InitContainer` that clones the repo using git, then mount the `EmptyDir` into the Pod's container.

* Deprecate auto detecting cloud providers in kubelet. Auto detecting cloud providers go against the initiative for out-of-tree cloud providers as we'll now depend on cAdvisor integrations with cloud providers instead of the core repo. In the near future, `--cloud-provider` for kubelet will either be an empty string or `external`.
