If it is done this way it should be documented *very clearly*. As you
can see, this feature is not really "self explaining" ;-)
Especially, that you normally only have to set RecyclePool=Scratch in
the *Scratch* pool which, without proper explanation, looks odd.

I think, that is something more unusual and with such long periods it
should be OK to have to do an "update all volumes from pool" from time
to time.
