### Feature

- Kubeadm: use the image registry registry.k8s.io instead of k8s.gcr.io for new clusters. During upgrade, migrate users to registry.k8s.io if they were using the default of k8s.gcr.io. ([#113393](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113393), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

### Bug or Regression

    
    From: [@mikedanese](https://github.com/mikedanese):
    Instead of aliasing. Aliases are annoying in a number of ways. This is
    specifically bugging me now because they make the action graph harder to
    analyze programmatically. By using aliases here, we would need to handle
    potentially aliased go_binary targets and dereference to the effective
    target.
  

  // TODO(lukes): Investigate using a @Contended annotation on these fields once one is available.

  /*
   * The following fields are package-private, even though we intend never to use them outside this
   * file. If they were instead private, then we wouldn't be able to access them reflectively from
   * within VarHandleAtomicHelper and AtomicReferenceFieldUpdaterAtomicHelper.
   *

       * because their next fields won't change. Statistically, at the default threshold, only
       * about one-sixth of them need cloning when a table doubles. The nodes they replace will be
       * garbage collectable as soon as they are no longer referenced by any reader thread that may
       * be in the midst of traversing table right now.
