* `Function<@Nullable A, @Nullable B>` already had to find a workaround. Still, there is a *ton* of
 * fallout from trying to switch. I would be shocked if the switch would offer benefits to anywhere
 * near enough users to justify the costs.

 * Fortunately, if anyone does want to use a Converter as a `Function<@Nullable A, @Nullable B>`,
 * it's easy to get one: `converter::convert`.

making compression the default for everyone starting with this release candidate.

Please be considerate of your servers and their operators as you roll out this release. Compression
saves bandwidth but it costs CPU and memory! If you run into a problem you may need to adjust or
disable the `permessage-deflate` compression settings on your server.

Note that OkHttp won't use compression when sending messages smaller than 1 KiB.

- The kube-apiserver's Prometheus metrics have been extended with some that describe the costs of handling LIST requests.  They are as follows.
  - *apiserver_cache_list_total*: Counter of LIST requests served from watch cache, broken down by resource_prefix and index_name

- The client label for apiserver_request_count and apiserver_request_total now no-opts and merely records an empty string. ([#87673](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87673), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan)) [SIG API Machinery, Instrumentation and Scalability]

- Added `--disable-compression` flag to `kubectl` (default = false). When true, it opts out of response compression for all requests to the `apiserver`. This can help improve list call latencies significantly when client-server network bandwidth is ample (>30MB/s) or if the server is CPU-constrained. ([#112580](https://github.com/kub...

- kube-apiserver disables the beta WatchList feature by default in 1.33 in favor of the `StreamingCollectionEncodingToJSON` and `StreamingCollectionEncodingToProtobuf` features.kube-controller-manager no longer opts into enabling the WatchListClient feature in 1.33.
