- Dependency bumps for CVE (usually limited to CVE resolution; backports of non-CVE related version bumps are considered exceptions to be evaluated case by case)
- Cert-manager version bumps (to avoid having releases with cert-manager versions that are out of support, when possible)
- Changes required to support new Kubernetes versions, when possible. See [supported Kubernetes versions](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/reference/versions.html#supported-kubernetes-versions) for more details.
- Changes to use the latest Go patch release. If the Go minor version of a supported branch goes out of support, we will consider on a case-by-case basis
to bump to a newer Go minor version (e.g. to pick up CVE fixes). This could have impact on everyone importing Cluster API.
- Changes to use the latest Go patch version to build controller images.
- Changes to bump the Go minor version used to build controller images, if the Go minor version of a supported branch goes out of support (e.g. to pick up bug and CVE fixes).
This has no impact on folks importing Cluster API as we won't modify the version in `go.mod` and the version in the `Makefile` does not affect them.
