### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Kubeadm: change the default image repository for CI images from 'gcr.io/kubernetes-ci-images' to 'gcr.io/k8s-staging-ci-images' ([#97087](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97087), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- ReplicaSets of paused Deployments are now scaled while the Deployment is paused. This is retroactive to existing Deployments.
- When scaling a Deployment during a rollout, the ReplicaSets of all Deployments are now scaled proportionally based on the number of replicas they each have instead of only scaling the newest ReplicaSet.

* CRI: respect container's stopping timeout. ([#44998](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44998), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* Fix problems with scaling up the cluster when unschedulable pods have some persistent volume claims. ([#44860](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44860), [@mwielgus](https://github.com/mwielgus))

### Staging Repositories

- The CRI API is now available in the `k8s.io/cri-api` staging repository. ([#75531](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75531), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))
