- Default RBAC policy no longer grants access to discovery and permission-checking APIs (used by `kubectl auth can-i`) to *unauthenticated* users. Upgraded clusters preserve prior behavior, but cluster administrators wishing to grant unauthenticated users access in new clusters will need to explicitly opt-in to expose the discovery and/or permission-checking APIs:
- The deprecated --storage-versions flag has been removed. The storage versions will always be the default value built-in the kube-apiserver binary. ([#67678](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67678), [@caesarxuchao](https://github.com/caesarxuchao))
- The deprecated `--repair-malformed-updates` flag has been removed ([#73663](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73663), [@danielqsj](https://github.com/danielqsj))
- The `/swaggerapi/*` schema docs, deprecated since 1.7, have been removed in favor of the /openapi/v2 schema docs. ([#72924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72924), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
