These hints allow the scheduler to retry scheduling a Pod
  that was previously rejected by the InterPodAffinity plugin if there are changes (create, delete, or update) to a related Pod or a node that matches the pod affinity criteria.

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases. ([#112806](https://github.com...
