kopf does not tolerate annotations while patching finalizer

[lkoniecz]

Long story short

I tried to distinquish an operator that works in my cluster with those than my team and I run locally.
Used https://kopf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/filters/#metadata-filters for resource filtering.

It works and the handlers are being invoked correctly, but working operators go into a patching war, one putting a finalizer while other constantly removing it.

Yes, I know peering - but from what I read the highest prio wins. I need more than one working simultanously.

@kopf.on.create('awsrequests', annotations=metadata_filter())
def handler(patch, **kwargs):
    # do some stuff
    pass
