Hello @jpbetz @cici37 👋, Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on [02:00 UTC Friday 9th February 2024 / 18:00 PDT Thursday 8th February 2024](https://everytimezone.com/s/1ade3dca):.

This enhancement is targeting for stage alpha for v1.30 (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: { CURRENT_RELEASE }. KEPs targeting stable will need to be marked as implemented after code PRs are merged and the feature gates are removed.
• KEP readme has up-to-date graduation criteria
• KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements. (For more information on the PRR process, check here).

I saw the comment here that a replacement KEP will be opened: #3963 (comment). Please link the new KEP as soon as it is available so we can properly assess whether it is ready for inclusion in the v1.30 release.

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

With all the requirements fulfilled this enhancement is now marked as tracked for the upcoming enhancements freeze 🚀

Hey again @jpbetz @cici37 👋 Enhancements team here,

Just checking in as we approach code freeze at 02:00 UTC Wednesday 6th March 2024 .

Here's where this enhancement currently stands:

• All PRs to the Kubernetes repo that are related to your enhancement are linked in the above issue description (for tracking purposes).
• All PR/s are ready to be merged (they have approved and lgtm labels applied) by the code freeze deadline. This includes tests.

For this enhancement, it looks like the following PRs are open and need to be merged before code freeze (and we need to update the Issue description to include all the related PRs of this KEP):

• MutatingAdmissionPolicy implementation kubernetes#123332

Also, please let me know if there are other PRs in k/k we should be tracking for this KEP.

As always, we are here to help if any questions come up. Thanks!

After discussing with @cici37 @deads2k @fedebongio @alexzielenski, we'd like to re-target this enhancement for v1.31 milestone.

We weighed the benefits of merging the first alpha in this release against the risks-- less than a week remaining till code freeze, high reviewer workloads and overall size of this enhancement. The quality of work so far is amazing, so part of our goal is to avoid "crunch" and the risks it entails.

We feel it is best overall to take some extra time and merge this with a high level of quality and confidence in 1.31. We will continue to prioritize API and implementation review. Once the implementation PR is ready, we will hold it until the code thaws for 1.31 and then merge, hopefully early in the cycle.
