Somewhere in the last round of editing, I compressed the patch release
instructions after the release validation steps went in. They no
longer made sense because they assume some variables are set from the
previous step that you don't have set. Set them.
These instructions are now begging to be refactored between the patch
and normal releases, but I won't do that here.
*** PLEASE NOTE: This documentation applies to the HEAD of the source
tree only. If you are using a released version of Kubernetes, you almost
certainly want the docs that go with that version.
Documentation for specific releases can be found at
releases.k8s.io.
