Hi Scott,
It seems that section 2 is a no-op, because the space is not really reserved if it's just returned to the pool when the /8 runs out... Is that the intent?
It makes sure that there is one clearly defined /16 block reserved. Otherwise we might end up with unused fragments all over the whole /8. I don't know if that was the intent of the authors, but it might be useful and it doesn't seem to have any negative side effects. - Sander
