## Other notable changes

### API Machinery

- Remove `GetReference()` and `GetPartialReference()` function from `pkg/api/ref`, as the same function exists also in `staging/src/k8s.io/client-go/tools/ref` ([#80361](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80361), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

		// server configuration, and convert it to minio-go's
		// replication configuration type (by converting to xml and
		// parsing it back), use minio-go's add rule function, and
		// finally convert it back to the server type (again via xml).
		// This is needed as there is no add-rule function in the server
		// yet.

		// Though we do not check if the rule already exists, this is
		// not a problem as we are always using the same replication

			return []byte(data), err
		},
		// ReadLine doesn't fit the data/pattern easily
		// so we leave it out. It should be covered via
		// the ReadSlice test since ReadLine simply calls
		// ReadSlice, and it's that function that handles
		// the last byte.
	}

	// Try all readers with UnreadByte.
	for rno, read := range readers {
		// Some input data that is longer than the minimum reader buffer size.
		const n = 10

  * This will ensure certain commands in 1.5 versions of kubectl continue function when run against a 1.6 server. (e.g. `kubectl edit deployment`)
* Taint
  * The `taint` command will not function in a skewed 1.5 / 1.6 environment - client and server versions must match (See Action required section above)

* locking fix in vSphere cleanup function ([#68388](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68388), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
    * The vSphere cloud provider has a cleanup function with a loop,
    * inside of which a write lock was intended to prevent races against
