- Very large patches may now be specified to `kubectl patch` with the `--patch-file` flag instead of including them directly on the command line. The `--patch` and `--patch-file` flags are mutually exclusive. ([#93548](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93548), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton)) [SIG CLI]

* The CRD OpenAPI v3 specification for validation now allows `additionalProperties`, which are mutually exclusive to properties. ([#62333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62333), [@sttts](https://github.com/sttts))

  2. The `--node-cidr-mask-size` flag is mutually exclusive with `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv4` and `--node-cidr-mask-size-ipv6`.

  Server-side apply now considers `.spec.defaultBackend` to be an atomic struct.  This means that any field-owner who sets values in that struct (they are mutually exclusive) owns the whole struct. For almost all users this change has no impact; for controllers that want to change the default backend port from number to name (or vice-versa), this makes it easier.

* TLS cert storage for self-hosted clusters is now configurable. You can store them as secrets (alpha) or as usual host mounts. ([#50762](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50762), [@jamiehannaford](https://github.com/jamiehannaford))

- Kube-apiserver: fixes a 1.32+ regression validating OIDC and anonymous authentication flags are mutually exclusive to authentication configuration. Fixes an issue where the kube-apiserver `/flagz` endpoint would not respond correctly with parsed flags value.

    * Notes (v1.16):
    * 1. IPVS is the only proxy supported (as of v1.16 ) by Dualstack.
    * 2. Dualstack is mutually exclusive with `EndpointSlice` feature. They can not be turned on together.  `metaproxy` is yet to implement EndpointSlice handling.

In order to support the browser's form validation feedback, powered by the\n// `required` attribute, we have to \"hide\" the inputs via `clip`. We cannot use\n// `display: none;` or `visibility: hidden;` as that also hides the popover.\n// Simply visually hiding the inputs via `opacity` would leave them clickable in\n// certain cases which is prevented by using `clip` and `pointer-events`.\n// This way, we ensure a DOM element is visible to position the popover from.\n//\n// See https://github.co...
