* Never prevent deletion of resources as part of namespace lifecycle ([#48733](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48733), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
* kubectl: Fix bug that showed terminated/evicted pods even without `--show-all`. ([#48786](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48786), [@janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))

- Fixed a bug that an init container with containerRestartPolicy with `Always` cannot update its state from terminated to non-terminated for the pod with restartPolicy with `Never` or `OnFailure`. ([#123709](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123709), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Apps]

- If a pod has a running instance, the stats of its previously terminated instances will not show up in the kubelet summary stats any more for CRI runtimes such as containerd and cri-o. This keeps the behavior consistent with Docker integration, and fixes an issue that some container Prometheus metrics don't work when...

        - Additional memory overhead per container.
          ([#21737](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/21737))

        - Processes may be leaked when Docker is repeatedly terminated in a short
          time frame.
          ([#41450](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/41450))
- [v1.8.0-rc.1](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v180-rc1)

* Fix so setup-files don't recreate/invalidate certificates that already exist ([#23550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23550), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))
* A pod never terminated if a container image registry was unavailable ([#23746](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23746), [@derekwaynecarr](https://github.com/derekwaynecarr))

- kubeadm: ensure that Pods from the upgrade preflight check `CreateJob` are properly terminated after a timeout. ([#127333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127333), [@yuyabee](https://github.com/yuyabee)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Enabled the feature gate `ContainerRestartRules` by default. The `ContainerRestartRules` feature has been promoted to beta. Fixed a bug in this feature that caused probes to continue to run even if the container has terminated and is not restartable. ([#134631](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134631), [@yuanwang04](https://github.com/yuanwang04))
- Graduated the `PodTopologyLabelsAdmission` feature gate to Beta and enabled it by default.

* Fixed a bug in the single-numa-policy of the TopologyManager. Previously, best-effort pods would result in a terminated state with a TopologyAffinity error. Now they will run as expected. ([#83777](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83777), [@lmdaly](https://github.com/lmdaly))
