### Bug or Regression

- Fix missing delete events on informer re-lists to ensure all delete events are correctly emitted and using the latest known object state, so that all event handlers and stores always reflect the actual apiserver state as best as possible ([#115900](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115900), [@odinuge](https://github.com/odinuge)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Sync node status during kubelet node shutdown.
  Adds an pod admission handler that rejects new pods when the node is in progress of shutting down. ([#98005](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98005), [@wzshiming](https://github.com/wzshiming)) [SIG Node]
