After reflecting on the implementation PR: kubernetes/kubernetes#86102

I think this needs a KEP as it loosens validation, and as a result, the feature requires that all kubelets have the support enabled before the API server accepts its usage. Will write a quick KEP now.

/sig node

Took a quick 👀 and the kep would need alpha graduation criteria but other than that it has the testplans, implementable state, etc... So would need that update and to merge before October 6th

PR #2055 was updated and now it meets the criteria (pending sig-node review ofc), we'll just need this to merge by October 6th to be included in 1.20

@k8s-triage-robot: Closing this issue.

Targeting stable for Kubernetes v1.27.

Hello @derekwaynecarr @saschagrunert 👋, Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach Enhancements freeze on 18:00 PDT Thursday 9th February 2023.

This enhancement is targeting for stage stable for 1.27 (correct me, if otherwise)

Here's where this enhancement currently stands:

• KEP readme using the latest template has been merged into the k/enhancements repo.
• KEP status is marked as implementable for latest-milestone: 1.27
• KEP readme has a updated detailed test plan section filled out
• KEP readme has up to date graduation criteria
• KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements.

For this KEP, we would just need to update the following:

• Add response for this question in the Scalability questionnaire of the KEP readme
• Update this enhancement's test plan section to be in compliance with the current detailed test plan of the KEP readme template

The status of this enhancement is marked as at risk. Please keep the issue description up-to-date with appropriate stages as well. Thank you!

Can we get the KEP updated and make sure all the stable PRR questions are answered ASAP?

Oh, I see the PR here: #3719

In the future please tag the issue so it shows up on here.

Updating the test section in #3865

Should be mostly a no-op, since it's only a formal change.

Production readiness completed

and template updated to the latest including the test plan.

@Atharva-Shinde this KEP should be good to go

This enhancement meets all the requirements to be tracked for v1.27
Thanks @saschagrunert @SergeyKanzhelev
