- The sidecars' finish time will now be accounted for when calculating the job's finish time. ([#124942](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124942), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Apps]
- This PR added tracing support to the kubelet's read-only endpoint, which currently
  does not have tracing. It makes use of the `WithPublicEndpoint` option to prevent callers

- SourcesReady provides the readiness of kubelet configuration sources such as apiserver update readiness. ([#81344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81344), [@zouyee](https://github.com/zouyee))

- This PR adds additional validation for endpoint ip configuration while iterating through queried endpoint list. ([#117225](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117225), [@princepereira](https://github.com/princepereira)) [SIG Network and Windows]

evict running Pods that do not tolerate the NoSchedule taint if the taint is added to a Node.  There is an open PR ([#48189](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48189)) to resolve this issue, but as this issue also exists in 1.6, and as we do not wish to risk release stability by merging it directly prior to a release without sufficient testing, we have decided to defer merging the PR until the next point release for each minor version ([#48190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48190))....

Kube-apiserver: Fixed a `1.27`+ regression in watch stability by serving watch requests without a `resourceVersion` from the watch cache by default, as in <`1.27` (disabling the change in PR 115096 by default). This mitigates the impact of an etcd watch bug (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/17555). If the 1.27 change in PR 115096 to serve these requests from underlying storage is still desired despite the impact on watch stability, it can be re-enabled with a `WatchFromStorageWithoutResourceVersion`...
