preemption of critical system pods that are already running. If that is not desired, disable the PodPriority feature by setting `--feature-gates=PodPriority=false` on the kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, and kubelet components before upgrading to 1.11. Disabling the PodPriority feature limits [critical pods](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/guaranteed-scheduling-critical-addon-pods/#marking-pod-as-critical-when-priorites-are-enabled) to the `kube-system` namespace.

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch...

- The DRA device taints and toleration feature received a separate feature gate, `DRADeviceTaintRules`, which controlled support for `DeviceTaintRules`. This allowed disabling it while keeping `DRADeviceTaints` enabled so that tainting via `ResourceSlices` continued to work. ([#135068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/135068), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Auth, Node, Scheduling...

- Introduce a feature gate `DisableKubeletCloudCredentialProviders` which allows disabling the in-tree kubelet credential providers.
  

* PodReadinessGate feature is now GA. The feature gate will not allow disabling it. ([#74434](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74434), [@freehan](https://github.com/freehan))

- Shell completion has been migrated to Cobra's go solution.  `kubectl` is now smarter about disabling file completion when it does not apply.  Furthermore, completion for the `cp` command does not show all files unless the user has started typing something.

* `AlwaysCheckAllPredicates` is deprecated in scheduler Policy API. ([#86369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86369), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
* Kubernetes KMS provider for data encryption now supports disabling the in-memory data encryption key (DEK) cache by setting cachesize to a negative value. ([#86294](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86294), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

* Fix corner-case with OnlyLocal Service healthchecks. ([#44313](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44313), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
* Fix for [disabling federation controllers through override args](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/42761). ([#44341](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44341), [@irfanurrehman](https://github.com/irfanurrehman))
