     * Unfortunately, we don't distinguish between these two cases in our public API: Joiner.on(...)
     * and Joiner.on(...).useForNull(...) both declare the same return type: plain Joiner. To ensure
     * that users *can* pass null arguments to Joiner, we annotate it as if it always tolerates null
     * inputs, rather than as if it never tolerates them.

Some notable changes in kubeadm since Kubernetes 1.12:

 - Kubeadm now respects user specified etcd versions in the ClusterConfiguration and properly uses them. If users do not want to stick to the version specified in the ClusterConfiguration, they should edit the kubeadm-config config map and delete it. ([#89588](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89588), [@ro...

* `kubectl create rolebinding` and `kubectl create clusterrolebinding` invocations must be updated to  specify multiple subjects as repeated  `--user`, `--group`, or `--serviceaccount` arguments instead of comma-separated arguments to a single `--user`, `--group`, or `--serviceaccount`.  E.g. `--user=x,y` must become `--user x --user y`  ([#43903](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43903), [@xilabao](https://github.com/xilabao))

kubeadm, the cluster lifecycle building block, continues to receive features and stability work required for bootstrapping production clusters efficiently. kubeadm has promoted high availability (HA) capability to beta, allowing users to use the familiar `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join` commands to [configure and deploy...
