The change looks good, but I think maybe you should update the comment 
about the pools a bit. I'm not sure why we have the history lesson in 
the comment. I would much rather have a comment describing the current 
state and since the test live with the code this should be just fine. 
But leave the NOTE, it is good to be explicit when we depend on hard 
coded stuff :)
