Version 2 of the HorizontalPodAutoscaler API graduates to stable in the 1.23 release. The HorizontalPodAutoscaler `autoscaling/v2beta2` API is deprecated in favor of the new `autoscaling/v2` API, which the Kubernetes project recommends for all use cases.

This release does *not* deprecate the v1 HorizontalPodAutoscaler API.

* The following deprecated flags were removed from `kubelet`:

  * `api-servers` - add apiserver addresses to the kubeconfig file instead.

## Kubefed

* Deprecate the `--secret-name` flag from `kubefed join`, instead generating the secret name arbitrarily. ([#42513](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42513), [@perotinus](https://github.com/perotinus))
