// This seems to be the only way to obtain a reliable (with respect to locking) file size here
                // It is more critical than other attributes because append mode depends on it.
                // We do only really care if we open for writing and not shared for writing

- Feature gate dependencies are now explicit, and validated at startup. A feature can no longer be enabled if it depends on a disabled feature. In particular, this means that `AllAlpha=true` will no longer work without enabling disabled-by-default beta features that are depended on (either with `AllBeta=true` or explicitly enumerating the disabled dependencies).

The major theme for the SIG OpenStack release is the work-in-progress for removing the in-tree provider. This work, being done in conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider, is focusing on moving internal APIs that the OpenStack (and other providers) depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work also included abstracting the in-tree Cinder API and refactoring code to the external Cinder provider to remove additional Cinder volume provider code.

      *  add a "partialDisruption" mode, when more than 33% of Nodes in the zone are not Ready
      *  add "fullDisruption" mode, when all Nodes in the zone are not Ready
    * Eviction behavior depends on the mode in which NodeController is operating:

- Conformance image now depends on stretch-slim instead of debian-hyperkube-base as that image is being deprecated and removed. ([#88702](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88702), [@dims](https://github.com/dims)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle, Release and Testing]

- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases.

all know whether it would like the name:  however, it only
grinned a little wider.  `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought
Alice, and she went on.  `Would you tell me, please, which way I
ought to go from here?'

  `That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said
the Cat.

  `I don't much care where--' said Alice.

  `Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
