Release notes should be added to `next` by editing existing files or creating
new files. **Do not add RELNOTE=yes comments in CLs.** Instead, add a file to
the CL (or ask the author to do so).

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being
concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the
glob "*stdlib/*minor" are treated specially. They should be in subdirectories

- Remove support for the Service `topologyKeys` field (alpha) and the `kube-proxy` implementation of it. This field was deprecated several cycles ago. This functionality is replaced by the combination of automatic topology hints per-endpoint (alpha) and the Service `internalTrafficPolicy` field (alpha).

- Reduce the number of calls to docker for stats via dockershim. For Windows this reduces the latency when calling docker, for Linux this saves cpu cycles. ([#104287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104287), [@jsturtevant](https://github.com/jsturtevant)) [SIG Node and Windows]
