require distributed deploying MinIO with Erasure Coding. For extended development and production, deploy MinIO with Erasure Coding enabled - specifically,
with a *minimum* of 4 drives per MinIO server. See [MinIO Erasure Code Overview](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html)
for more complete documentation.

- Fixed bug that prevented the alpha feature `PodTopologyLabelAdmission` from working due to checking for the incorrect label key when copying topology labels. This bug delayed the graduation of the feature to beta by an additional release to allow time for meaningful feedback.

- Discarded the output streams of destination path check in kubectl cp when copying from local to pod and added a 3 seconds timeout to this check ([#126652](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126652), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu)) [SIG CLI]

  - `kubectl convert`, deprecated since v1.14, will be removed in v1.17.
  - The `--export` flag for the `kubectl get` command, deprecated since v1.14, will be removed in v1.18.
  - `kubectl cp` no longer supports copying symbolic links from containers; to support this use case, see `kubectl exec --help` for examples using `tar` directly ([#82143](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82143), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
