* Clean up the kube-proxy container image by removing unnecessary packages and files. ([#42090](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42090), [@timstclair](https://github.com/timstclair))
* Better compat with very old iptables (e.g. CentOS 6) ([#37594](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37594), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Service session affinity timeout tests are no longer required for Kubernetes network plugin conformance due to variations in existing implementations. New conformance tests will be developed to better express conformance in future releases.

## Dependencies

### Added

### CLI

This release includes a change to [kubectl get and describe to work better with extensions](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/515), as the server, rather than the client, returns this information for a smoother user experience.

### Network

- New scoring for PodTopologySpreading that yields better spreading ([#90475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/90475), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]

- All `klog` flags except for `-v` and `-vmodule` are deprecated. Support for `-vmodule` is only guaranteed for the text log format. ([#105042](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105042), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

### SIG Scheduling

interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
specific requirements.

  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,

### Bug or Regression

- Added jitter factor to lease controller that better smears load on kube-apiserver over time. ([#101652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101652), [@marseel](https://github.com/marseel)) [SIG API Machinery and Scalability]
