[Manan] Why do you think this is the right functionality. What if the
admin wants to allocate a public IP range to a account and wants to allow
the tenant to create as many networks as they want and use this public IP
range.

[Manan] Agree with the proposed change. I am assuming if there are any
public Ips that are in use (Loadbalancing, Port Forwarding, Static-NAT,
etc) then they will remain as is.
