Right, so your anti-colocation constraint is not actually a hard
requirement, you want it to be optional - scatter resources if possible,
but don't restart resources for it.

You can do this using the utilization feature,
placement-strategy="balanced" and resource-stickiness=inf.

Or am I missing something still?
