The pool cleanup has one disadvantage (assuming the register cleanup within cleanup
bug is fixed), the order of cleanups is a strict LIFO.
There _may_ be an advantage to an orderable hook. At this point I agree, fix the
register cleanup in cleanup bug, let Jon experiment with that solution, and then
argue the merits for a new hook.
