- The scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, it could miss some cluster events,
  and it could end up Pods rejected by Extenders stuck in unschedulable pod pool in 5min in the worst-case scenario.

- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases. ([#127277](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127277), [@...

* A performance issue was identified in large-scale clusters when deleting thousands of pods simultaneously across hundreds of nodes. Kubelets in this scenario can encounter temporarily increased latency of `delete pod` API calls -- above the target service level objective of 1 second. If you run clusters with this usage pattern and if pod deletion latency could be an issue for you, you might want to wait...

- The test is intended to verify pod scheduling with an anti-affinity scenario, but it uses the wrong pod template. 
  This affects functional correctness. ([#134262](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134262), [@sats-23](https://github.com/sats-23)) [SIG Testing]

- The scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, it could miss some cluster events,
  and it could end up Pods rejected by Extenders stuck in unschedulable pod pool in 5min in the worst-case scenario.
  Now, the scheduling queue notices extenders' failures and requeue Pods rejected by Extenders appropriately. ([#122043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122043), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
