- Some of the in-tree storage drivers indicate support for the `MetricsProvider` interface, but fail to configure this for BlockMode volumes. With a recent change, `Kubelet` will call `GetMetrics()` for BlockMode volumes, and the in-tree drivers that miss the support cause a Go panic. Now the in-tree storage drivers that support BlockMode volumes, will return the Capacity of the volume in the `GetMetrics()`...

- Changed how KMS v2 encryption at rest can generate data encryption keys.

- `kubeadm`: will now allow deploying a kubelet that is 3 versions older than the version of `kubeadm` (N-3). This aligns with the recent change made by SIG Architecture that extends the support skew between the control plane and kubelets. Tolerate this new kubelet skew for the commands `init`, `join` and `upgrade`. Note that if the `kubeadm` user applies a control plane version that...

    * This more closely aligns rest client as a generic RESTful client, while preserving the special Kube API extended error handling for the `Get` and `Into` methods (which most Kube clients use).
