- The taint applied to control-plane nodes "node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule" is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release after a GA deprecation period.
  - Apply toleration for a new, future taint "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule" to the kubeadm CoreDNS / kube-dns managed manifests. Note that this taint is not yet applied to kubeadm control-plane nodes.

- Updated json representation for a conflicted taint to `Key=Effect` when a conflicted taint occurs in kubectl taint. ([#104011](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104011), [@manugupt1](https://github.com/manugupt1))
- Upgrades functionality of `kubectl kustomize` as described at

- Kubeadm: only taint control plane nodes when the legacy "master" taint is present. This avoids a bug where "kubeadm upgrade" will re-taint a control plane node with the new "control plane" taint even if the user explicitly untainted the node. ([#109841](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109841), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG...

* /test/e2e/framework: Adds a flag "non-blocking-taints" which allows tests to run in environments with tainted nodes. String value should be a comma-separated list. ([#81043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81043), [@johnSchnake](https://github.com/johnSchnake))...

- Kubeadm: removed the toleration for the `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` taint from the CoreDNS deployment of `kubeadm`. With the 1.25 release of kubeadm the taint `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` is no longer applied to control plane nodes and the toleration for it can be removed with the release of 1.26. You can also perform the same toleration removal from your own...

// FieldsFunc interprets s as a sequence of UTF-8-encoded code points.
// It splits the slice s at each run of code points c satisfying f(c) and
// returns a slice of subslices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c), or
// len(s) == 0, an empty slice is returned. Every element of the returned slice is
// non-empty. Unlike [Split], leading and trailing runs of code points
// satisfying f(c) are discarded.
