- `StatefulSet` names must be DNS labels, rather than subdomains. Any `StatefulSet`
  which took advantage of subdomain validation (by having dots in the name) can't
  possibly have worked, because we eventually set `pod.spec.hostname` from the `StatefulSetName`,
  and that is validated as a DNS label. ([#114172](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114172), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
