  - false/ignore - perform no validation, silently dropping invalid fields from the object. ([#108350](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108350), [@kevindelgado](https://github.com/kevindelgado))

Mock Turtle, suddenly dropping his voice; and the two creatures,
who had been jumping about like mad things all this time, sat
