### 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)_.

  - Deprecate the default service IP CIDR. The previous default was `10.0.0.0/24` which will be removed in 6 months/2 releases. Cluster admins must specify their own desired value, by using `--service-cluster-ip-range` on kube-apiserver.
