- The `AdvancedAuditing` feature gate that graduated to GA in `v1.12` (and was unconditionally
  enabled) has been removed. ([#118763](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118763), [@Shubham82](https://github.com/Shubham82))

- Removed the `CronJobTimeZone` feature gate (the feature is stable and always enabled)

### Generic Ephemeral Volume feature graduates to GA

The generic ephemeral volume feature moved to GA in 1.23.
This feature allows any existing storage driver that supports dynamic provisioning to be used as an ephemeral volume with the volume’s lifecycle bound to the Pod.
All StorageClass parameters for volume provisioning and all features supported with PersistentVolumeClaims are supported.

- Migrate statefulset files to structured logging ([#106109](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106109), [@h4ghhh](https://github.com/h4ghhh))
- Refactor kubelet command line for enabling features and "drop `RuntimeClass` feature gate" if present. Note that this feature has been on by default since 1.14 and was GA'ed in 1.20. ([#106882](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106882), [@cyclinder](https://github.com/cyclinder))

- Lock ServerSideApply feature gate to true with the feature already being GA. ([#112748](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112748), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Instrumentation and Testing]

tes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-storage/596-csi-inline-volumes) feature allows CSI volumes to be specified directly in the pod specification for ephemeral use cases. They can be used to inject arbitrary states, such as configuration, secrets, identity, variables or similar information, directly inside pods using a mounted volume. This was initially introduced in 1.15 as an alpha feature, and it moved to GA. This feature is used by some CSI drivers such as the [secret-store CSI driver](http...
