### Avoiding permanent beta

From Kubernetes 1.20 onwards, SIG Architecture will implement a new policy to transition all REST APIs out of beta within nine months. The idea behind the new policy is to avoid features staying in beta for a long time. Once a new API enters beta, it will have nine months to either:

 - reach GA, and deprecate the beta, or
 - have a new beta version _(and deprecate the previous beta)_.

- OpenAPI will no longer duplicate these schemas:
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.DeleteOptions_v2`
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.ObjectMeta_v2`
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.OwnerReference_v2`
  - `io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.StatusDetails_v2`
