For the way I'd use it, it seems perfect :

* I create a new pool XXX with ScratchPoolId = MyScratchPool's PoolId
and let it fill itself,
 and RecyclePoolId = XXX's PoolId so I can see if it become stable and I
just have to supervise
 MyScratchPool
 
* If I want to remove this pool, I set RecyclePoolId = MyScratchPool's
PoolId, and once it is empty,
 I can remove it safely.
