I'm not sure I see any potential for collision. If two pools are
defined with the same label format, that should be a configuration
error. With different label formats, there's no opportunity for a
collision.

The only thing in the docs remotely like that is "Maximum Volumes",
which I'm already using, and which obviously didn't influence the
automatic labelling.
And I still don't see any opportunity for name collisions.
