- Kubeadm: the `bridge-nf-call-iptables=1` and `bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=1` preflight checks are removed since not all the network implementations require this setting, network plugins are responsible for setting this correctly depending on whether or not they connect containers to Linux bridges...

  Noteable changes:
  1. Populate new `RuntimeHandler` field in CRI's `ImageSpec` struct during image pulls from container runtimes.
  2. Pass `runtimeHandler` field in `RemoveImage()` call to container runtime in `kubelet`'s image garbage collection. ([#121456](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121456), [@kiashok](https://github.com/kiashok))

- Fixed two regressions introduced by the PodDisruptionConditions feature (on by default in 1.26):
  - pod eviction API calls returned spurious precondition errors and required a second evict API call to succeed

      *  add "fullDisruption" mode, when all Nodes in the zone are not Ready
    * Eviction behavior depends on the mode in which NodeController is operating:
      * if the new state is "partialDisruption" or "fullDisruption" we call a user defined function that returns a new QPS to use (default 1/10 of the default rate, and the default rate respectively),
      * if the new state is "normal" we resume normal operation (go back to default limiter settings),

   * Returns true when all work currently in progress by the watchdog have completed. This method
   * creates more work for the watchdog and waits for that work to be executed. When it is, we know
   * work that preceded this call is complete.

* Remove broken getvolumename and pass PV or volume name to attach call ([#46249](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46249), [@chakri-nelluri](https://github.com/chakri-nelluri))

- Added apiserver_envelope_encryption_invalid_key_id_from_status_total to measure number of times an invalid keyID is returned by the Status RPC call. ([#115846](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115846), [@ritazh](https://github.com/ritazh)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

* The Prometheus metrics for the kube-apiserver for tracking incoming API requests and latencies now return the subresource label for correctly attributing the type of API call. ([#46354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/46354), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

LIST calls into multiple smaller chunks. A client can specify a limit to the number of results to return. If more results exist, a token is returned that allows the client to continue the previous list call repeatedly until all results are retrieved.  The resulting list is identical to a list call that does not perform chunking, thanks to capabilities provided by etcd3.  This allows the server to use less memory and CPU when very large lists are returned. This feature is gated as APIListChunking...
