### Feature

- 'kubeadm: enhanced the "patches" functionality to be able to patch coredns
  deployment. The new patch target is called "corednsdeployment" (e.g. patch file

([#105140](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105140), [@brianpursley](https://github.com/brianpursley))

  With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in next reconcile loop. Unfortunately if the provious existing pv has the Failed state, this patch won't take effort. It requires users to remove finalizer. ([#126045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126045), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps...

- Kubeadm: deprecate the feature `--experimental-kustomize` in favor of `--experimental-patches`. The supported patch formats are the same as "kubectl patch". They are read as files from a directory and can be applied to kubeadm components during init/join/upgrade. Only patching of static Pods is supported for the time being.
