If not specified, it defaults to {@code ..}, i.e. the parent directory.
            Maven looks for the parent POM first in this location on
            the filesystem if explicitly provided, then in the reactor if groupId and artifactId are provided,
            then in the default parent directory, then the local repository, and lastly in the remote repo.

- Kubectl/drain: add skip-wait-for-delete-timeout option. If a pod’s  `DeletionTimestamp` is older than N seconds, skip waiting for the pod.  Seconds must be greater than 0 to skip.

- Fixed a regression since `v1.27.0` in the scheduler framework when running score plugins. 
  The `skippedScorePlugins` number might be greater than `enabledScorePlugins`, 
  so when initializing a slice the `cap(len(skippedScorePlugins) - len(enabledScorePlugins))` is negative,

Comparison operators compare two operands and yield an untyped boolean value.

- Removed the incorrect warning event `FileSystemResizeFailed` during pod creation if it uses a readonly volume and the capacity of the volume is greater than or equal to its requested storage.

- Restored the `--verify-only` function in code generation wrappers.

- kube-controller-manager currently needs a writable `--cert-dir`...

### Bug Fixes and Other Changes

- UDP and SCTP protocols can left stale connections that need to be cleared to avoid services disruption, but they can cause problems that are hard to debug.
  Kubernetes components using a loglevel greater or equal than 4 will log the conntrack operations and its output, to show the entries that were deleted. ([#95694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95694), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network]

- The `kubectl debug` is able to create ephemeral containers in pre-1.22 clusters with the `EphemeralContainers` feature enabled. Note that versions of kubectl prior to 1.22 are unable to create ephemeral containers in clusters version 1.22 and greater due to an API change.
