+### Oscillation of node conditions
+
+If a node is oscillating above and below a soft eviction threshold, but not exceeding
+its associated grace period, it would cause the corresponding node condition to
+constantly oscillate between true and false, and could cause poor scheduling decisions
+as a consequence.

+To protect against this oscillation, the following flag is defined to control how

+The `kubelet` would ensure that it has not observed an eviction threshold being met

 ## Eviction scenario
 
 Let's assume the operator started the `kubelet` with the following:
