  When the scheduling queue receives a cluster event, before moving each Pod from unschedulable pod pool to activeQ/backoffQ, it will call QueueingHintFn of plugins that rejected each Pod in the previous scheduling cycle.
  Depending on the value returned from QueueingHintFn, the scheduling queue changes how it queues each Pod:
  - if more than one QueueingHintFn returns QueueImmediately, it queues Pod to activeQ.

- Kubectl cluster-info dump --output-directory=xxx now generates files with an extension depending on the output format. ([#82070](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82070), [@olivierlemasle](https://github.com/olivierlemasle)) [SIG CLI]

During server startup, prior to the server reporting healthy (via `/healthz`), not all API groups may be reported.
Wait for the server to report healthy (via `/healthz`) before depending on the information provided by the discovery APIs.
Additionally, since the information returned from the discovery APIs may change dynamically, a cache of the results should not be considered authoritative.
