 The introduction of these feature gates gives us the ability to move the option to beta and later stable without implying that all available options are stable.
 This approach is similliar to graduation criteria for `CPUManagerPolicyOptions` introduced [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-node/2625-cpumanager-policies-thread-placement#graduation-criteria-of-options).
 
+In 1.28 this feature is being promoted to Beta. We propose following changes to TopologyManager policy options default visibility:
+
+- `TopologyManagerPolicyOptions` feature flag for enabling/disabling the entire feature will be enabled by default.
+- `TopologyManagerPolicyBetaOptions` feature flag for enabling/disabling beta options will be enabled by default.
+- `prefer-closest-numa-nodes` will be moved to Beta options.

 N/A.
 
 ###### What are other known failure modes?
 
-TBD.
+There are 2 scenarios where Kubelet may fail to start due to using this feature:
+
+- Bad policy option name or using policy option without enabling appropriate feature flag. we are emitting appropriate error message for this case, 
+  Kubelet will fail to start and print error message what happened. To recover one just have to provide fix policy option name or disable/enable feature flags.
+
+- Cadvisor is not exposing distances for NUMA domains. In this case Kubelet will fail with `error getting NUMA distances from cadvisor` message.
+  Reading NUMA distances is only performed when `prefer-clostest-numa-nodes` option is specified. 
+  To recover one has to either disable `TopologyManagerPolicyOptions` feature-flag or stop using `prefer-closest-numa-nodes` option.
