   * The alternative natural refactorings into void or Exception-returning methods are much slower.
   * This is a big deal - we're talking factors of 2-8 in microbenchmarks, not just 10-20%. (This is

- Kube-controller-manager: the `horizontal-pod-autoscaler-upscale-delay` and `horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-delay` flags have been removed (deprecated and non-functional since v1.12).

* CRI: `kubectl logs -f` now stops following when container stops, as it did pre-CRI. ([#44406](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/44406), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
* Azure cloudprovider: Reduce the polling delay for all azure clients to 5 seconds. This should speed up some operations at the cost of some additional quota. ([#43699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43699), [@colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens))

- The kubelet plugin manager now properly handles plugin registration failures by removing failed plugins from the actual state and retrying with exponential backoff (initial delay 500ms, doubling each failure up to ~2 minutes maximum) to protect...
