 * [ ] Ensure the jobs are adjusted to provide test coverage according to our [support policy](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/reference/versions.html#supported-kubernetes-versions):
-  * For the main branch and the release branch of the latest supported Cluster API minor release:
-    * Add new periodic upgrade job.
-    * Adjust presubmit jobs so that we have the latest upgrade jobs available on PRs.
   * For the main branch:
-    * periodics & presubmits: 
-      * Bump `KUBEBUILDER_ENVTEST_KUBERNETES_VERSION` of the `test-mink8s` jobs to the new minimum supported management cluster version.
     * periodics:
-      * Bump `KUBERNETES_VERSION_MANAGEMENT` of the `e2e-mink8s` job to the new minimum supported management cluster version.
       * Drop the oldest upgrade job as the oldest Kubernetes minor version is now out of support.
