  - To disable RemoteCommand over WebSockets for kubectl, the environment variable feature gate must be explicitly set to `false`: `KUBECTL_REMOTE_COMMAND_WEBSOCKETS=false`.

- 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.
