- Kubeadm: make etcd pod request 100m CPU, 100Mi memory and 100Mi ephemeral_storage by default ([#94479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94479), [@knight42](https://github.com/knight42)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]
- Kubeadm: make the command "kubeadm alpha kubeconfig user" accept a "--config" flag and remove the following flags:

* Make DaemonSet respect critical pods annotation when scheduling. ([#42028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42028), [@janetkuo](https://github.com/janetkuo))
* Implement the update feature for DaemonSet. ([#41116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41116), [@lukaszo](https://github.com/lukaszo))

    specifically bugging me now because they make the action graph harder to
    analyze programmatically. By using aliases here, we would need to handle
    potentially aliased go_binary targets and dereference to the effective
    target.
  
    The comment references an issue with `pure = select(...)` which appears
    to be resolved considering this now builds.
  

- New configuration...

  2. Fixed a bug where the pod is unexpectedly running when the `image` volume source type is used and mounted to `/etc/hosts`...

- This release added support for `NodeExpandSecret` for CSI driver client which enables the CSI drivers to make use of this secret while performing node expansion operation based on the user request. Previously there was no secret  provided as part of the `nodeexpansion` call, thus CSI drivers did not make use of the same while expanding the volume at the node side. ([#105963](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105963), [@zhucan](https://github.com/zhucan))...

- Removed defunct `make vet` target, please use `make lint` instead ([#132509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132509), [@yongruilin](https://github.com/yongruilin)) [SIG Testing]

  
  With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in next reconcile loop. Unfortunately if the provious existing pv has the Failed state, this patch won't take effort. It requires users to remove finalizer. ([#126045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126045), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

* Fix registration for scheduling framework plugins with the default plugin set ([#72396](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72396), [@y-taka-23](https://github.com/y-taka-23))
