+Since the added field is optional and its omission does not change the existing

+version `pkg/apis/autoscaling/v2`. Older versions (i.e. `v1`, `v2beta1`,

 The feature presented in this KEP only allows users to tune an existing parameter, and
 as such doesn't require any new HPA Events or modify any Status. The validation logic
 will be updated to ensure that the `tolerance` field cannot be set to a negative value.
