The scheduling hints allow the scheduler to only retry scheduling a `Pod`

### Removed metrics

- Fixed a bug in the garbage collector controller which could block indefinitely due to a cache sync failure. This fix allows the garbage collector to eventually continue garbage collecting other resources if a given resource cannot be listed or watched. Any objects in the unsynced resource type with owner references with `blockOwnerDeletion: true` will not be known to the garbage collector. Use of `blockOwnerDeletion` has always been best-effort and racy on startup and object creation. With this...

 - The flag `--experimental-patches` is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag `--patches`. Add a new field `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory` that can be used for the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that...

- Kube-proxy now trims extra spaces found in loadBalancerSourceRanges to match Service validation. ([#94107](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94107), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Network]
