Hello all,

An update to the Kubernetes deprecation policy was recently merged to strengthen guarantees around stable versions of REST APIs.

Previously, the policy allowed removing a stable API version after a year-long deprecation period. Even though that provision had never been used, its presence misleadingly made the difference between beta and stable APIs appear to be minimal.

The updated policy no longer permits removal of stable API versions within a major version of Kubernetes. That matches how we treat these APIs in practice, and gives much more confidence to anyone building on top of them.
