* Provide flags to use etcd3 backed storage ([#24455](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24455), [@hongchaodeng](https://github.com/hongchaodeng))

### Other notable changes

* Fix hyperkube's layer caching, and remove --make-symlinks at build time ([#25693](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/25693), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

- Graduated the `LegacyServiceAccountTokenTracking` feature gate to GA. The usage of auto-generated secret-based service account token now produces warnings, and relevant Secrets are labeled with a last-used timestamp (label key `kubernetes.io/legacy-token-last-used`). ([#117591](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117591), [@zshihang](https://github.com/zshihang)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Testing]

    * Custom apiservers built with the latest apiserver library will have the 100MB limit on the body of resource requests as well. The limit can be altered via ServerRunOptions.MaxRequestBodyBytes.
    * The body size limit does not apply to subresources like pods/proxy that proxy request content to another server.

	// object layer not initialized we return with no decision.
	if newObjectLayerFn() == nil {

	// Disable server-side replication on object prefixes which are excluded

                        continue;
                    }
                }

                // 3. Delete old index and recreate with the same name (Bhv layer caches concrete index names)
                deleteIndex(indexName);
                if (!createIndex(configIndex, indexName)) {

- Add alpha metrics tracking the resource version the cache layer of an informer is at. ([#137419](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/137419), [@michaelasp](https://github.com/michaelasp)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Instrumentation and Testing]

* etcd3: dereference the UID pointer for a readable error message. ([#33349](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33349), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))
* etcd3: pass SelectionPredicate instead of Filter to storage layer ([#31190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/31190), [@hongchaodeng](https://github.com/hongchaodeng))

- Kubeadm: apply the "node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers" label on control plane nodes during "init", "join" and "upgrade" to preserve backwards compatibility with the lagacy LB mode where nodes labeled as "master" where excluded. To opt-out you can remove the label from a node. See #97543 and the linked KEP for more details.

      Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!'


  `That is not said right,' said the Caterpillar.

  `Not QUITE right, I'm afraid,' said Alice, timidly; `some of the
