Disabling the wrtiting of annotations.

[Boomatang]

I have being debugging a set of operators and kopf has allowed me to create very quick operator to react to changes in the system. A lot of this is when "field A" changes collect all these resources. It has being great, the speed at which you can get up in running is super useful.

The problem that I am running into is when kopf processes an event (on.update is what I use most) there is an annotation (kopf.zalando.org/last-handled-configuration) written back to the CR that triggered the event. Some of the operators in the system I am trying to debug are triggering reconciles when the annotations get updated. This is affecting how the system is working. I know the URL for the annotation can be changed, but what I need to do is stop writing the annotations altogether.

Is there a way to disable the annotation creation?
