- `Statefulset` now waits for new replicas in tests when removing `.start.ordinal`. ([#119761](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119761), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
- `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` and `ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding` objects are

- The minimum value validation of ReplicationController's `replicas` and `minReadySeconds` fields have been migrated to declarative validation. The requiredness of both fields is also declaratively validated.

- When describing deployments, `OldReplicaSets` now always shows all replicasets controlled the deployment, not just those that still have replicas available. ([#113083](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113083), [@llorllale](https://github.com/llorllale)) [SIG CLI]

- Remove deprecated `--generator, --replicas, --service-generator, --service-overrides, --schedule` from `kubectl run`

* Fixes bug finding master replicas in GCE when running multiple Kubernetes clusters. ([#58561](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58561), [@jesseshieh](https://github.com/jesseshieh))

* Respect fstype in Windows for azure disk ([#61267](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/61267), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* Unready pods will no longer impact the number of desired replicas when using horizontal auto-scaling with external metrics or object metrics. ([#60886](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60886), [@mattjmcnaughton](https://github.com/mattjmcnaughton))

- Added a feature that allows a `StatefulSet` to start numbering replicas from an arbitrary non-negative ordinal, using the `.spec.ordinals.start` field. ([#112744](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112744), [@pwschuurman](https://github.com/pwschuurman))

* Fix `describe statefulset` not printing number of desired replicas correctly ([#72781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72781), [@tghartland](https://github.com/tghartland))

in the case where a field is removed from the applied configuration. Removed fields which have no other owners are deleted from the live object, or reset to their default value if they have one. Safe ownership transfers, such as the transfer of a `replicas` field from a user to an HPA without resetting to the default value are documented in [Transferring Ownership](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#transferring-ownership) ([#92661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92661),...
