- The kubeconfig is now exposed in `the kube-scheduler` framework handle. Out-of-tree plugins can leverage that to build CRD informers easily. ([#100644](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100644), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

  only giving a weighted average of the two sync types together. ([#117787](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117787), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))
