- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.

- When scaling down a ReplicaSet, delete doubled up replicas first, where a "doubled up replica" is defined as one that is on the same node as an active replica belonging to a related ReplicaSet.  ReplicaSets are considered "related" if they have a common controller (typically a Deployment). ([#80004](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80004), [@Miciah](https://github.com/Miciah))

- Kubeadm: graduated the kubeadm specific feature gate `UnversionedKubeletConfigMap` to GA and locked it to `true` by default. The kubelet related ConfigMap and RBAC rules are now locked to have a simplified naming `*kubelet-config` instead of the legacy naming `*kubelet-config-x.yy`, where `x.yy` was the version of the control plane. If you have previously used the old naming format with `...

- Fixed a regression in default 1.26 configurations, which enabled PodDisruptionConditions by default, 
  that prevented the control plane's pod garbage collector from deleting pods that contained duplicated field keys (env. variables with repeated keys or container ports).
