Hi Release Team,

I'd like to request a code freeze exception for the following enhancement:

• Enhancement name: PreQueueingHint Extension Point for Scheduler Event Processing
• Enhancement status: Beta 
• SIG: sig-scheduling
• k/enhancements repo issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/6132
• PRs:
  • KEP: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/6133
  • Code: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/138916
• Additional time needed: 5 days 
• Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: Fixes a known thundering herd problem in scheduler event handling for DRA ResourceClaim workloads (#138095), with 2x throughput improvement confirmed via local runs (reference -https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-scheduling/6132-prequeueing-hints#performance-tests)
• Risks from adding code late: Low. Feature-gated (SchedulerPreQueueingHints), additive, and falls back to existing behavior on error. No api change and no regression in non-DRA paths per benchmarks and tests.
• Risks from cutting enhancement: Delays a fix for a known production performance issue by ~4 months. KEP is merged, code PR is in active review with most feedback addressed.

Thank you,
Geeta
