- Fixed a race condition in the iptables mode of kube-proxy in `1.27` and later
  that could result in some updates getting lost (e.g., when a service gets a
  new endpoint, the rules for the new endpoint might not be added until
  much later). ([#122204](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122204), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

file is now loaded with strict deserialization, which fails if the config file contains duplicate or unknown fields.
