- Removal of the CSI `NodePublish` path by the kubelet is deprecated. This must be done by the CSI plugin according to the CSI spec. ([#101441](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101441), [@dobsonj](https://github.com/dobsonj))

- Kubeadm: removed the restriction that the `ca.crt` can only contain one certificate. If there is more than one certificate in the `ca.crt` file, kubeadm will pick the first one by default. ([#107327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107327), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

- Admission control plugin "DefaultStorageClass": If more than one StorageClass is designated as default (via the "storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class" annotation), choose the newest one instead of throwing an error. ([#110559](https://github.com/kubernetes/kub...

- In the event that more than one IngressClass is designated "default", the DefaultIngressClass admission controller will choose one rather than fail.

- [`KT-54046`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-54046) Partial linkage: turning type alias into class + using it as type: build fails with AssertionError: "Expected exactly one delegating constructor call but none encountered"

    * regions ("failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region") in favor of their GA equivalents:
    * "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region".

- Reminder: The labels "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone" and "failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region" are deprecated in favor of "topology.kubernetes.io/zone" and "topology.kubernetes.io/region" respectively.  All users of the "failure-domain.beta..." labels should switch to the "topology..." equivalents. ([#96033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96033),...
