### Promoted Server Side Unknown Field Validation to Beta

## Major Themes

Kubernetes is developed by community members whose work is organized into
[Special Interest Groups][]. For the 1.8 release, each SIG provides the

     * As a guide, all critical volatile reads and writes to the count field are marked in code
     * comments.
