// LimitPodHardAntiAffinityTopology admission controller rejects any pod
// that specifies "hard" (RequiredDuringScheduling) anti-affinity
// with a TopologyKey other than v1.LabelHostname.
// Because anti-affinity is symmetric, without this admission controller,
// a user could maliciously or accidentally specify that their pod (once it has scheduled)
// should block other pods from scheduling into the same zone or some other large topology,
// essentially DoSing the cluster.
// In the future we will address this problem more fully by using quota and priority,
// but for now this admission controller provides a simple protection,
// on the assumption that the only legitimate use of hard pod anti-affinity
// is to exclude other pods from the same node.
