- Previously, the scheduling queue didn't notice any extenders' failures, potentially resulting in missed cluster events and Pods rejected by Extenders being stuck in the unschedulable pod pool for up to 5 minutes in the worst-case scenario. Now, the scheduling queue notices extenders' failures and requeues Pods rejected by Extenders appropriately.

- Kubelet no longer watches `ConfigMaps` and `Secrets` for terminated pods, in worst scenario causing it to not be able to send other requests to kube-apiserver ([#74809](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74809), [@oxddr](https://github.com/oxddr))
