* Kubernetes version command line parameter in kubeadm has been updated to drop an unnecessary redirection from ci/latest.txt to ci-cross/latest.txt. Users should know exactly where the builds are stored on Google Cloud storage buckets from now on. For example for 1.9 and 1.10, users can specify ci/latest-1.9 and ci/latest-1.10 as the CI build jobs what build images correctly updates those. The CI jobs for master update the ci-cross/latest location, so if you are looking for latest...

- `apiserver_admission_webhook_admission_duration_seconds` buckets have been expanded, 25s is now the largest bucket size to match the webhook default timeout.
