### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Cri-client helper method NewLogOptions was removed and LogOptions must be constructed directly. This eliminates the unwanted depdendency from cri-client to apimachinery. ([#137827](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/137827), [@SergeyKanzhelev](https://github.com/SergeyKanzhelev)) [SIG Node and Release]

* Resolves performance regression in `kubectl get all` and in client-go discovery clients constructed using `NewDiscoveryClientForConfig` or `NewDiscoveryClientForConfigOrDie`. ([#86168](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86168), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Other notable changes

* CustomResourceDefinitions: OpenAPI v3 validation schemas containing `$ref`references are no longer permitted (valid references could not be constructed previously because property ids were not permitted either). Before upgrading, ensure CRD definitions do not include those `$ref` fields. ([#58438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58438), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
