Documented where, exactly?  I see no reference to this in the Director 
configuration documentation.

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.
