Review comment:
You do have good points. These abstractions are rather new, or at least
under-used, and could be refined.
Most APIs do indeed work with MemoryPool, not MemoryManager; MemoryPool has
been there for quite a long time, and MemoryManager was only added relatively
recently, to support non-CPU memory. The right place would be JIRA and/or the
ML, I think. (Or just an ML post referencing this thread; GitHub is OK for
discussion, we might just need more eyes.)
