I would argue that.
But creating a storage pool do affect the volume group system. So it is
reasonable to undo the effect caused by creating a storage pool when
deleting the storage pool. Also, only raw empty block devices can be
used to create the storage pool in Kimchi, so it is safe to assume that
the storage pool created by Kimchi can be deleted with the volume group
under it released.
