- Fix the bug where spec.terminationGracePeriodSeconds of the pod will always be overwritten by the MaxPodGracePeriodSeconds of the soft eviction, you can enable the `AllowOverwriteTerminationGracePeriodSeconds` feature gate, which will restore the previous behavior.  If you do need to set this, please file an issue with the Kubernetes project to help contributors understand why you need it....

- Pod eviction now honors graceful deletion by default if no delete options are provided in the eviction request. ([#72730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72730), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Auth

- The `pod/eviction` subresource now accepts `policy/v1` eviction requests in addition to `policy/v1beta1` eviction requests ([#100724](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/100724), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Kubectl/drain: add disable-eviction option.Force drain to use delete, even if eviction is supported. This will bypass checking PodDisruptionBudgets, and should be used with caution. ([#85571](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85571), [@michaelgugino](https://github.com/michaelgugino)) [SIG CLI]...

    filesystem.setFaultyDelete(cacheDir / "a.0", true)
    taskFaker.runNextTask()

    // Confirm we prevent edits after a trim failure.
    assertThat(cache.edit("c")).isNull()

    // A successful eviction should allow new writes.
    filesystem.setFaultyDelete(cacheDir / "a.0", false)
    cache.evictAll()
    set("c", "cc", "cc")
    assertValue("c", "cc", "cc")
  }
