- Respect grace period when updating static pods. ([#106394](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106394), [@gjkim42](https://github.com/gjkim42)) [SIG Node and Testing]

- Images for cloud-controller-manager, kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler now contain a minimal /etc/nsswitch.conf and should respect /etc/hosts for lookups ([#69238](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69238), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder))

### SIG Scheduling

- The topology manager aligns resources for pods of all QoS classes with respect to NUMA locality, not just Guaranteed QoS pods. ([#83492](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83492), [@ConnorDoyle](https://github.com/ConnorDoyle))

- Fixed kubelet logging to properly respect verbosity levels. Previously, some debug/info messages using V().Error() would always be printed regardless of the configured log verbosity. ([#136028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/136028), [@thc1006](https://github.com/thc1006))...

- Mount-utils: treat syscall.ENODEV as corrupted mount ([#126174](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126174), [@dobsonj](https://github.com/dobsonj)) [SIG Storage]
- StatefulSet autodelete will respect controlling owners on PVC claims as described in https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/4375 ([#126581](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126581), [@mattcary](https://github.com/mattcary)) [SIG Apps, Storage and Testing]

     * read operations in Map. For example, no operation can reveal that the table has grown but the

  The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice.  It looked good-
natured, she thought:  still it had VERY long claws and a great
many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.

  `Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at

grinned a little wider.  `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Makefile and scripts now respect GOTOOLCHAIN and otherwise ensure ./.go-version is used ([#122077](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122077), [@BenTheElder](https://github.com/BenTheElder)) [SIG Release and Testing]
