- Ensure Pods are removed from the scheduler cache when the scheduler misses deletion events due to transient errors ([#106102](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106102), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Ensure all vSphere nodes are are tracked by volume attach-detach controller ([#96689](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96689), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
- Ensure empty string annotations are copied over in rollbacks. ([#94858](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94858), [@waynepeking348](https://github.com/waynepeking348))

Kubernetes performs pruning, or the automatic removal of unknown fields in objects sent to a Kubernetes API. An "unknown" field is one that is not specified in the OpenAPI validation schema. This behavior is already in place for native resources and ensures only data structures specified by the CRD developer are persisted to etcd. It will be available as a beta feature in Kubernetes 1.15.

Pruning is activated by setting `spec.preserveUnknownFields: false` in the CustomResourceDefinition....

* Fix Pods using Portworx volumes getting stuck in ContainerCreating phase. ([#48898](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48898), [@harsh-px](https://github.com/harsh-px))
* RBAC role and role-binding reconciliation now ensures namespaces exist when reconciling on startup. ([#48480](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48480), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))



# v1.6.7

- Ensured memory resizing for Guaranteed QoS pods on static Memory policy configurations was gated by `InPlacePodVerticalScalingExclusiveMemory` (defaults: `false`). ([#132473](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132473), [@pravk03](https://github.com/pravk03)) [SIG Node, Scheduling and Testing]

- Modified the error message of `unmanagedFatal` to enhance clarity while preserving grammatical consistency with `unmanagedWarning`. This improvement ensures a more understandable prompt for users. ([#120159](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120159), [@Ithrael](https://github.com/Ithrael))

### Failing Test

     * Sum per-segment modCounts to avoid mis-reporting when elements are concurrently added and
     * removed in one segment while checking another, in which case the table was never actually
     * empty at any point. (The sum ensures accuracy up through at least 1<<31 per-segment
     * modifications before recheck.)  Method containsValue() uses similar constructions for
     * stability checks.
