* Fix some false negatives in detection of meaningful conflicts during strategic merge patch with maps and lists. ([#43469](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/43469), [@enisoc](https://github.com/enisoc))

- Fixes a regression in v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget handling of `strategic merge patch`-type API requests for the `selector` field. Prior to 1.21, these requests would merge `matchLabels` content and replace `matchExpressions` content. In 1.21, patch requests touching the `selector` field started replacing the entire selector. This is consistent with server-side apply and...

- Switch scheduler to generate the merge patch on pod status instead of the full pod ([#103133](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/103133), [@marwanad](https://github.com/marwanad)) [SIG Scheduling]
