+### Correction to ReplicatedSecrets namespacing behaviour
+
+Replicated secrets no longer look in all namespaces to Replicate secrets whose labels match the MatchLabels selector in the ReplicatedSecret.

+Instead, secrets will only be picked up by the matcher if they both have matching labels AND are also in the same namespace as the ReplicatedSecret.
