- Fixed a regression in default configurations, which enabled PodDisruptionConditions by default, 
  that prevented the control plane's pod garbage collector from deleting pods that contained duplicated field keys (env. variables with repeated keys or container ports).

- The AllowedTopologies field inside StorageClass is now validated against set and map semantics. Specifically, there cannot be duplicate TopologySelectorTerms, MatchLabelExpressions keys, or TopologySelectorLabelRequirement Values. ([#66843](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66843), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))

- EndpointSlice controllers are less likely to create duplicate EndpointSlices. ([#100103](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100103), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps and Network]

- Improvements were made to `kubeadm reset` related to cleaning  etcd and notifying the user about the state of iptables.

- Fixed a regression in default 1.26 configurations, which enabled PodDisruptionConditions by default,
