Do *not* use the MinIO Grid for:

* Large payloads.

Only a single connection is ever made between two servers.
Likely this means that this connection will not be able to saturate network bandwidth.
Therefore, using this for large payloads will likely be slower than using a separate connection,
and other connections will be blocked while the large payload is being sent.

## Handlers & Routes

`status.loadBalancer` of a Service whose `spec.type` is not `LoadBalancer` was previously allowed, but any update to the `metadata` or `spec` would wipe that field. Setting this field is no longer permitted unless `spec.type` is  `LoadBalancer`.  In the very unlikely event that this has unexpected impact, you can enable the `AllowServiceLBStatusOnNonLB` 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...

- For Dynamic Resource Allocation, labels in node selectors now are validated. Invalid labels already caused runtime errors before and are unlikely to occur in practice. ([#128932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128932), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): fixed some small, unlikely race condition during pod scheduling. ([#124595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124595), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Node, Scheduling and Testing]

        that nondeterministic out-of-memory events while selecting algorithms
        could still lead to nondeterminism, although this is very unlikely. This
        additional, unlikely source will be eliminated in a later version.
    *   Add deterministic GPU implementations of:
        *   `tf.function(jit_compile=True)`'s that use `Scatter`.

- A small regression in Service updates was fixed. The circumstances are so unlikely that probably nobody would ever hit it. ([#104601](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104601), [@thockin](https://github.com/thockin))
