- Fixed a bug where `Services` using finalizers may hold onto `ClusterIP` and/or `NodePort` allocated resources for longer than expected if the finalizer is removed using the status subresource. ([#120623](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120623), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))

DELETE request of a replication controller or a replicaset becomes asynchronous by default. The object will continue to exist in the key-value store for some time. The API server will set its metadata.deletionTimestamp, add the "orphan" finalizer to its metadata.finalizers. The object will be deleted from the key-value store after the garbage collector orphans its dependents. Please refer to this [user-guide](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/garbage-collector/) for more information regarding the garbage...

- Only declare Job as finished after removing all Pod finalizers to avoid orphan Pods ([#119163](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119163), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]
