This check does not make much sense.

-For a "logical" pool only [I<--name>] needs to be provided. The [I<--name>]
The first sentence might make sense, since you don't change the code that would invalidate it.
-must match the Volume Group name for which the pool is being defined or -created. The [I<--source-name>] if provided must match the Volume Group
This needs to go.
-name. If not provided, one will be generated using the [I<--name>]. If -provided the [I<--target>] is ignored and a target source is generated -using the [I<--source-name>] (or as generated from the [I<--name>]).
This might make sense though.

ACK if you don't completely revert the documentation change.

I think that we should also revert commit 5edf9aaf54 because the news change basically describes what this patch reverts. ACK Pavel
