* Fix scheduling starvation of pods in cluster with large number of unschedulable pods. ([#72619](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72619), [@everpeace](https://github.com/everpeace))

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.27+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a resourceVersion from the watch cache by default, as in <1.27 (disabling the change in #115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in #115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still...
