* Remove pids cgroup controller requirement when related feature gates are disabled ([#79073](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79073), [@rafatio](https://github.com/rafatio))

* Fix a scalability issue where high rates of event writes degraded etcd performance. ([#64539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64539), [@ccding](https://github.com/ccding))

  * You can continue to use the alpha version of this feature (with one caveat -- see below), in which you specify affinity requests using Pod annotations, in 1.6 by including `AffinityInAnnotations=true` in `--feature-gates`, such as `--feature-gates=FooBar=true,AffinityInAnnotations=true`. Otherwise, you must modify your PodSpecs that currently use the `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/affinity` annotation on Pod, to instead use the `affinity` field in the PodSpec. Support for the annotation...

### Scheduling

- The following features are unconditionally enabled and the corresponding `--feature-gates` flags have been removed: `PodPriority`, `TaintNodesByCondition`, `ResourceQuotaScopeSelectors` and `ScheduleDaemonSetPods` ([#86210](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86210), [@draveness](https://github.com/draveness)) [SIG Apps and Scheduling]...

 *  New: `Headers.Builder.addUnsafeNonAscii()` allows non-ASCII values to be added without an
