The primary reason for this is not because pool 1 is becoming exhausted, 
but the fact that we want to use 000001 for LE (for practical/legacy 
reasons, not because pool 1 is becoming exhausted), so the suggestion is 
therefore to make Pool 3 have a different allocation policy so we can put 
in a standards track PHB LE RFC for 000001.
