This is valuable for end users as control plane upgrade will be a little faster than node upgrade, which are almost always going to be the longer with running workloads.
Some cluster operators avoid node maintenance and especially changes to node
behavior, because nodes are where the workloads run. For minor version upgrades
to a kubelet, the supported process includes draining that node, and hence
disruption to any Pods that had been executing there. For Kubernetes end users
with very long running workloads, and where Pods should stay running wherever
possible, reducing the time lost to node maintenance is a benefit.
The Kubernetes yearly support period already made annual upgrades possible. Users can
upgrade to the latest patch versions to pick up security fixes and do 3 sequential
