* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kubelet`:

  * `api-servers` - add apiserver addresses to the kubeconfig file instead.

  Don't use these flags. Using deprecated flags causes the kubelet to print a warning. Using a removed flag causes the kubelet to abort the startup.

* Removed deprecated --require-kubeconfig flag, removed default --kubeconfig value (([#58367](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58367), [@zhangxiaoyu-zidif](https://github.com/zhangxiaoyu-zidif))
