While not a blocker (since it's a long-standing issue), I'd recommend cherry-picking MESOS-2182 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2182> .
With very large clusters this issue appears to trigger false removals of slaves due to blocking of the SocketManager. For us it was about 5% of the slaves that were removed over the course of a failover, which is quite dangerous for production use-cases. I've attached the cherry-picks for getting these on top of 0.21.0 (not sure if apache will strip them, but you're mesosphere email should get them).
