You now have to use patchesStrategicMerge explicitly, or update to the new syntax supported by patches. See examples in the PR description of https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/pull/4911.

 - The flag `--experimental-patches` is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can migrate to using the new flag `--patches`. Add a new field `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory` that can be used for the same purpose. For `init` and `join` it is now recommended that you migrate to configure patches via `{Init|Join}Configuration.patches.directory`. For the time being, these flags can be mixed with `--config`, but that...

- The alpha `Initializers` admission plugin is no longer enabled by default. This matches the off-by-default behavior of the alpha API which drives initializer behavior. ([#66039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66039), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  The scheduling hints allow the scheduler to only retry scheduling a `Pod`

angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three

  `But I'm not used to it!' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone.
